MRT vs. Bus (Singapore)



Everyday people go and come from different places. Could you imagine how would it be without having different ways of transportation? Imagine a city without buses and MRTs. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast these two social means of transportation. I will talk about the confort, the price and how each transportation affects the environment.
The most notable difference between these two kinds of transport is the confort. Altough the MRT is faster, in my opinion is is not confortable enough, while the bus is slower but more confortable. But when talking about confort, many things can be mentioned, air conditioning, for instance, not all buses have A/C while all the MRTs have.
Comparing both means of transport we notice another important difference. There is an economy factor that affect one of them. It is a fact that you ned more money to take the MRT than the bus. It can be faster but is more expensive. For example, if you need to use the public transportation everyday, by bus is more economic. But a similarity in both is that you can pay with your easy-link.
Yet another very important difference beteween these two is how each of them affect the environment. MRT doesn't affect the environment in terms of pollution, while the buses affect drastilly the environment. And nowdays, polluction is more and more considered unaceptable.
Here are the main differences beteween taking bus and MRT. As we can see, it comes down to a personal choice based on the time each person has, the wealth and the opinion each person has. And so choose the best way for your life.
