There are several advantages to traveling by public transportation.
It is often cheaper than paying for gas in a personal car, and it is good for the environment.
However some disadvantages are that it can take longer to get around and can be less
convenient with having to take multiple buses.

some disadvantages:-

1) you have no privacy and cannot choose the company you have to share the journey with
2) you sometimes have to put up with annoying, noisy, ignorant, selfish or weird people
3) sometimes you won't even get a seat
4) you have to make sure you have a valid pass or the correct change
5) you don't always stop where you want to, therefore have to walk or even get more than 1 bus/train
6) you have no choice in who you share the transport with or which route it takes
7) you have to wait for the transport in all kinds of weather
you cannot guarantee that the transport will be on time
9) you are far more likely to catch colds or other diseases
10) you never know how clean the seating is or rather, isn't!

I often use public transportations especially when I go home. I found many disadvantages from taking the bus home. Here are my lists :
1. Some people talk very loud in the bus. It is annoying. I think they should have something to control this behavior.
2. Sometimes the bus drivers carry too many people especially on a special day. I think the law should be stronger to control the bus driver. If the bus get an accident because of too much loading, it costs a lot of money and people may pass away.
3. It is dirty and dusty sometimes. It can couse illness. I sometimes get high temperature after taking the public bus.
4. I think it is unsafe when they use the same bus for many rounds. They should stop they bus that has been riding and use the other bus for the next round.
These are what I found. I hope they can improve it.

I find only one disadvantage of public transport is time.
We cannot fix the time of using public transport.
It's up to the driver. Most of the problem about the time is taking too long time or being late.

Public transport can be good and bad.

It is good if you need to travel a long way because it is cheaper than taking a car and yiou can sleep.

However, if you are only travelling a short distance then it can not be good. For example, it is not as comfortable. Also, you have to sit with strangers. Finally, public transport can be very crowded and take a lot longer than private transport.

Thanongsak 017 4EN

I like to go by public transportation because it;s safe and cheap but there're some disadvantages of it.
Public transportation may sound convenient but it's not exactly right.
I used to catch the train many times and I found it usually comes late.
I have to wait for it for a long time until it comes to the station.
In the train, there're full of many people, it' s very crowded.
It's also slow because it stop for picking up many people.
It's slower than private car, if you hurry, public transportation may be not suitable.

Here's the ADVANTAGES of  public transportation...
- Reduce the releasing of carbondioxide, so to use the public transportation can also reduce the Global warming.
- Save the money, for example, public transportation of MSU, because you don't need to pay

However, a coin has two sides. These might be the disadvantages of public transport...
- You need to take around thirty minutes before getting off that it's too long.

The disadvantages of public transportation are having no privacy and not run on a set schedule. There is no privacy in public transportation. Travelers are crowded in and don't have much personal space. There is nothing to prevent the person sitting next to you from reading documents or the screen of your laptop, listening in on your phone conversations or looking at the contents of your handbag. Most of the time the bus in Thailand are running late, then all of the passengers may be late to their destination.

As you see public transportation use by many people.
In my opinion the disadvantages of public transport are
1. dirty
2. crowd
3. in disorder
I am the one who use public transport I was faced with the dirty thing that I hate it.
I saw fingermark of someone at the mirror door. I afraid to use my hand touch the door because I really afraid of bacteria. I really hate it. This fingermark can show me that the company rarely clean the bus.

PORNPAN 024 3EN

As the Public transport gets over crowded, privacy of travelers is kept at stake.
Also, the threat of stealing of private property of passengers remains
throughout our journey via Public Transport. Moreover I think it waste
of time because we must have to wait their schedule.


Donruetai 054 4EN

I am one of people who always catch public transport because it cheaper mare than use private car.
But there are many disadvantages that I try to endure.
1. It isn't on time(Thailand only).
2. It's crowded because it's really popular for students.
3. Some people have bad manners such as talk too loud, sneeze or cough without use hand cover mouth.
4. There are not many seat for customers so maybe I will stand all the way to my destination.

Areeya 039 3EN

Too slow for me and it's never on time. I don't mind commuting in a crowded bus. I did it a lot when I was young. But here at Mahasarakham is another story. There are too few buses. Riding motorcycle gives me the convenience I need.


Peerapong 054 3EN

I think that the disadvantages of public transport are:
1. Public transportation runs on a set schedule. These times may not mesh with the travel demands of those using public transportation. This can result in a serious loss of time for travels who must arrive at their destination early to avoid being late. It may also mean waiting for the next bus or train after their business is concluded, slowing their return home.
2. There is no privacy in public transportation. Travelers are crowded in and don't have much personal space.
3. The public transportation may not come out into the suburbs far enough to pick them up, or may not stop at the exact address that they are traveling to.

Parinyaporn 062 (3EN)

I always use public transport when I get back home, and I am
familiar with it. I met a lot of disadvantages of public transport.
Firstly, crowded people, this is very awkward because others also
want to go home in the same day. The owner does not think how
terrible it is,they just want to collect money as much as they can.
Second, you may meet odd people. Once I met a woman who invited
me to talk along the journey and she did not stop talking just a few
minute from Khon Kaen to the university. I was so annoyed. Plus,
I sometimes meet rude bill collector, that one showed unsuitable
behavior to me because she chased me away from the bus.

Amphaphan 044 3EN

- take a long times while driving and sometimes it will arrive the destination late.
- low safety because of everybody around us is a stranger.
So, I don't like and don't want to use a public transport.
