MEANS OF TRANSPORT

3. Do people use public transport in your city? If so, what kind?

4. What do you think is the most dangerous form of transportation and why?
The car is one of the most dangerous means oftran sport because there
are a lot of accidents because people dont respect the speed limits.
I think it is the bicycle because people dont respect the rules of the
road.

5. Which form of transport is worst for the environment?
