Last year, my dad went to another city to work, so he could no longer drive me to the places I needed to go. He also thought I was old enough to go to some places myself. I started using the bus to get around town. It was easy to learn the routes, and I quickly figured out how to get to the places I wanted to go. It is only a two-block walk from our apartment to the nearest bus stop. From there I can ride the bus downtown to go to the library or museums, or I can visit friends on the other side of town. How convenient it is to travel by bus!

      Last Sunday, I took the bus to a clean-air meeting at the library. I took a No. 501 bus to Banana Road and then I got off. I walked past a bookstore and a hospital. At last I arrived at the library. At the meeting I learned more people choose to travel by bus in my town. At the same time I learned why taking the bus is really a good idea. Riding the bus greatly reduces (减少) air pollution. Besides, it can help one save a lot of money because cars are expensive to buy or fix.

I still hope to have a car when I’m an adult, but I won’t drive it often. If I want to go somewhere, I will be more likely to choose public transportation.
