My favorite transports
Many people like to travel by air because it’s fast, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for a long time for the plane to take off. So I like traveling by trains and buses. I think they are safe and convenient. It’s easy to find a railway station or a bus stop in cities, when you are late for a train or a bus, you can always catch another one. When you ride a train or a bus, you can open the windows to enjoy the beautiful scenery on your way. Trains and buses are my favorite transports.
