1. Do you often use public transportation?
If I need to commute to and fro somewhere without the hassle of jam, I use the public transport. I bet you know how it feels to self-drive in jams.
如果我需要往返于某地又不想被交通堵塞困擾的話，我選擇公共交通。我打賭你一定理解自駕時(shí)被堵住的感覺。
2. What kind(s) of transport do you usually use?
My hometown is too congested during the day. I get dropped off in the morning by either my mom or my sister so I don’t have to worry about being late. I walk home from school. Occasionally I get rides.
我的家鄉(xiāng)白天時(shí)候特別擁堵。早上要么是我媽要么是我姐姐送我，這樣我就不用擔(dān)心遲到了。晚上我從學(xué)校走回家，偶爾搭個(gè)順風(fēng)車。
3. What do you think of the transport conditions in your hometown?
I used public transportation all the time to get to & from work. The transportation in big city is crap. So owning your own car or taking a taxi isn't such a good idea. You could be stuck in traffic forever plus the expenses for gas and parking garages.
我上下班一直搭乘公共交通。大城市的交通可惡心了，自己開車或者打車不是明智的選擇。你可能被交通堵塞一直堵死而且還得考慮油費(fèi)和停車費(fèi)。
4. Do you think transportation costs are expensive in your hometown?
It depends on what you are looking to get to. Bus prices vary, but are mostly on a local basis, not for moving from city to city. Prices depend entirely on the distance, for long distance route, train might be the best cost.
這取決于你要去哪。公共汽車票價(jià)是浮動(dòng)的，只要不是跨城市，多是根據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)貥?biāo)準(zhǔn)定價(jià)的。價(jià)格主要依據(jù)距離而定，如果是長途旅行，火車性價(jià)比更高一些。
5. Can you suggest any ways to improve the transport system in your hometown?
Invest money in it. The problem is it's a vicious cycle. No one wants to use it because it sucks, and it sucks because no one uses it. The only way to break out of the cycle is to pour in some money and give it time. More bicycle friendly streets, solar powered vehicles, higher speed trains, incentives for public transportation, etc.
投錢!這個(gè)問題是惡性循環(huán)。因?yàn)榻煌ㄏ到y(tǒng)爛，所以沒人愿意用，因?yàn)闆]人用，所以它就爛。唯一打破這個(gè)惡性循環(huán)的方法就是投錢并且給它時(shí)間發(fā)展。方法很多：更多適合騎行的街道、太陽能汽車、更高速的列車、對使用公共交通給予獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)等。
