I like going around town by car. This form of transport is right up my alley because it is comfortable and

convenient. I don’t have to wait for buses or the subway, and when I sit in the car, I feel at home. Of course, there is the drawback of limited parking space as well as heavy traffic but I don’t mind as long as I am not in a hurry.

4. What do you think of the transport situation in your hometown?

Despite being congested at rush hours, my hometown has a well-regulated transportation system in place. Citizens are offered numerous road, rail, and underground options so there is plenty of choice. New projects are continually in the pipeline to keep up with the increasing population.

5. Would you say transport costs are high in your hometown?

No, I think transport costs are reasonable. Plus, there is a wide range of discounts for special groups of citizens like students, the elderly, mothers with children, disabled people and so on. Assessing the fares in terms of the quality of the transport infrastructure, I believe they are justified.

6. How has the transport system in your hometown changed in the past few decades?

The transport system has changed quite a lot. Several new metro lines have been introduced as part of the subway extension project. A high-speed railway system was finished last year and now it connects the commuter railway to the transit network. A new bike sharing scheme was also put into place.
