Dailly assignment: Draving a Car or Taking a DART Bus

Topic: Driving a Car or Taking a DART Bus

Today, everywhere in the world, the economic crisis has increased the gas price up to $3.00 per gallon and the situation everyday goes from bad to worst. In many cities and especially in Dallas, driving his car or taking the DART bus may be the solution of the problem. Analyzing similarities and differences between these two ways of transportation will help us to choose the best way.
Driving a car or taking a bus has many similar things. Both are the way of transportation. Most people often use them in many countries. They serve all people no matter of the sex or social class. Either you are rich or poor, man or woman, you can take a bus or drive. They are both less expensive than taking a taxi or traveling by plane in Dallas. They are very popular and even very common in many countries and big cities.
Although they present many similarities, they also have a lot of differences. Driving a car is very practical. With your car, you can go everywhere you want. Furthermore in many states like in Texas, taking a bus is sometimes very difficult. Buses don't circulate on every roads. If there is not a bus stop sign on the road, you will never meet a bus there. Although driving is most expensive because of the price of gas, a person can easily take a bus with only $2.50 and for the whole day with the same ticket. In addition, if you are a car owner you must spend more money on oil change, and other maintenance problems. Diving your personal car you can reach where you are going on time while with the bus, you can easily be late. Buses sometimes stopping at any bus stop-sign to pick customers. Also, if you miss a bus at the bus stop- sign, you may sometimes wait about 30 minutes before getting a new one. On the one hand, you can easily get a police ticket while driving . On the other hand, you can't get a ticket while taking a bus. Usually, with your car, you can drive safely to work and anywhere even at any time. You are free to take the direction and the road you want, while with the bus, you can't. After 2;00 AM, there are no available buses.
The increase of gas price today has seriously affected the economic system and especially the transportation factor is really concerned. Considered as the cheapest among flying or taking a taxi, driving his personal car or taking a DART bus is today the most needed by many people. Based on their similarities and differences, driving a car appears to be the best way since it has many advantages such as freedom while driving and economy of time. I would like to drive my car instead of taking a bus.
