Transport Advantages Disadvantages




Very cheap, efficient for short journeys,
door-to-door-- go to the small towns and cities,
Takes longer than the train or plane, no meals,
uncomfortable
Quick, time-saving, Comfortable Meals
Expensive, Airports are far from the centre of
the cities.
Cheaper than plane Comfortable, Accommodation and
meals Entertainment
affected by the weather much slower. Not
convenient for visiting inland places
Cheaper than the airplane, Views along the
road arrive at the centre of the cities
Takes longer than the airplane bad meals, crowded
28
Every kind of transport has its advantages
and disadvantages. Buses can offer us
convenient service, even door to door. But
taking buses for too long, we will feel tired
for we cant move freely. So when I go to a
distant place, I prefer trains. On trains, we can
move freely or sleep on the bed comfortably.
Especially after speeding-up several times,
trains take us less time than ever before.
Sometimes, we have to take ships.
29
Frankly speaking, I dont like ships. Ships
are easily affected by the weather and much
slower. Theres no doubt that airplanes are
the fastest but the most expensive. Although I
will never forget how excited I was when I was on
the airplane for the first time, I wont take
them easily because of the high-price tickets.
Every coin has two sides. So, no wonder
different people have different preferences
to different means of transport.
30
Compare train travel with plane travel, and
we can say both ways have advantages and
disadvantages. Firstly, air travel is fast
and saves time while train travel takes more
time. Secondly, the plane flies so smoothly
that you can rest comfortably during the trip,
but in comparison the train is sometimes
crowded. Thirdly, train travel is safer and
more convenient for passengers to enjoy the views
outside the windows of the train. Last but
not least, air travel is so expensive that only a
few can afford the fare and train travel is cheap
enough for most of the passengers.
