American Traffic V.S. Chinese

Taking 15 or half an hour or even 45 minutes waiting for bus makes people out of mind here.

The same as taxi, you can`t stop a taxi on the street. If you want to take a taxi, make sure you

have a taxi driver`s phone number! I guess that is the biggest difference of transpertantion

system between USA and China.

The raboit public traffic leads almost everyone owns a car in U.S., because no one wants to spend

time on unnecessary waiting. As a result, it is ordinary to find a American family with 4 or 5 cars.

And that also makes a mass of air contamination.

On the coutrary, because of the huge population, our government trys to solve the traffic

congestion problems and the pollution. Therefore, they make the public traffic convenient. Public
bus is about every 3, 5 minutes, and taxis can be found evereywhere. What is more? In China,

the private cars should pay more to the government every year. And it is really a difficult job to

get a driver licence.

Every coin has two sides, I don`t think the express public transportation is propitious to develop

our car industry. And the American way is also a kind of relax and enjoyable in life ... ...
