Some people believe public transport should be in charge of free. Do you think the advantages are more than disadvantages?
Some people think that public transport should be free of charge. From my perspective, I believe that the disadvantages of free public transport far outweigh its advantages.
Vehicles without regular maintenance may put passengers at risk of terrible accidents, which could injure them or even kill them. If public transport could not make money from service, it may lead to insufficient funding for repairing and maintenance. Gradually, parts of vehicles are out of date and could not work properly. Finally, it becomes a potential risk, which may cause dangerous accidents when vehicles run in streets. In addition, it has a negative effect on the quality of people's life. Free public transport means that the service has to rely heavily on government's subsidy. The expense of maintenance and cost of employees are all paid by governments. However, these money is raised by tax. If public transportation becomes free, it will definitely increase the financial burden on taxers. Consequently, they have less budget for necessities or basic needs, which could lead to the decline of their well-being.
Some people may argue that they could save some money if they do not have to pay for the transport service. It is true that they can get some benefit from it. However, in comparison to the risks of accidents and tax burden, the benefit is far too little.
In conclusion, I believe free public transport has more drawbacks than benefits because it poses a threat to people's safety and put a heavy financial burden on taxers. |
