We use cars, trains, busses, metros, trams, and bicycles to get ourselves places. Transportation is an issue every single individual faces upon the brink of adulthood. When our mothers and fathers stop dropping us off, we either opt for purchasing a car, or we opt for relying on public transportation, today we have made a list to weigh in on the pros and cons of owning a car, versus the pros and cons of public transportation.
The purpose, is to give our readers some insight on the best alternative, is it private transportation or public transportation?
