Nowadays there are a lot of kinds of transport such as a plane, a ship, a bus, a taxi, a bicycle… And now I will try to explain my opinion.
One of the most common kinds of transport is a bus. This kind of transport is one of the oldest. It is usual for old people or teenagers. For old people it is cheap and comfortable. For teenagers a bus helps to get at school. As for me, I like getting to school by bus. There are always good and quiet drivers on my route. I often face funny occasions with old people. I always help them. So you can see that there is a kind atmosphere in a bus. Another kind of transport is a taxi. It is rather an expensive transport. It is a good idea if you need to go a big distance. I do not like this kind of transport. Taxi drivers are always angry and unpleasant people, or, at least, I have met such. Taxies are often old and dirty with an unpleasant smell.  And it is very annoying when a taxi driver does not know the way you need. You have to explain it to him.

It is a well known fact that ecology plays a great role in modern life. Cars pollute a lot. In such situation cycling is the best alternative. Cycling is absolutely ecological kind of transport. It is mobile, and it is easy to cycle. And it is great for health, especially for your heart or legs.

But I prefer walking. It is really amazing. You can just stop and watch various sights, enjoy weather and communicate with people. You can take your friends with you for fun. With them your way becomes more interesting and full of positive emotions.

All in all, every kind of transport has its pros and cons. It is a vital problem of the day for many people. Somebody does not like taxies, others do not like walking. Tastes differ. And everyone can have his own opinion.
