I choose to go public! by Farihah Zainal (Singapore, Singapore)
A motorbike can only transport two persons, while a car carries five. A van may be more spacious than a car, but it cannot compete with a public bus that can carry up to 40 people in comfort. Do you know that a car consumes 9 times the energy used by a bus and 12 times that used by a train? If everyone travels by public transport, we can all get to our destinations faster, safer and cheaper. Plus we can help save the Earth and leave less carbon footprints each time we move from place to place.
