Hey~ fellow bloggers, back again,
I have made up the following table showing both the disadvantages and advantages for each of the transport options. There are a lot more disadvantages than advantages to every single transport mode, out of all these, the one that I most favoured is aeroplanes and cars, despite of its high risks of road and air accidents. They are the most punctual , fast and easily accessible modes of transport.
Types of transport | Advantages
| Disadvantages |
Car
| - Flexible- I can hire the car whenever to wherever I want
- Relatively reasonable car fares
- Easily accessible to attraction sites
| - Inconvenient to hire in specific countries like United states and France.
- Increasing traffic congestions on roads causing delays
- Costs varies greatly through different countries and some countries' car fares are increasing, e.g. China.
|
Rail
| - Relatively inexpensive
- Less polluting than road
- Much safer
- Easily accessible-Main stations are usually located in the centre of a city
- Their departure time usually is very punctual
| - Lots of delays
- Might get dizzy
- Noise are generated by train rails rubbing against the tracks
- Often crowded with passengers
- Easily being targeted by pocket pickers
|
Air(aeroplanes)
| - Short durations
- Airfares have lowered during the past 20 years
| - Danger of aeroplanes explosions or other accidents
- Airfares can still be the most expensive transport options among all the others.
- Some people may not be able to afford the expensive airfares during peak periods during Christmas holidays ( the price might go up fairly rapidly)
|
Sea(ships)
| - Relatively cheap in price
- View the brilliant scenery along the way
| - Passengers may easily get sick and dizzy during the trip
- This might not be an ideal choice of transport for most tourists as it is dangerous ( in a tempest).
- Often took a long time to get all the passengers on board.
- Delays occur frequently
|
Bus
| - Cheap bus tickets
- Easier to get as there are many bus stops around the main attraction sites
| - Lots of traffic congestions on the way
- Lacks punctuality
- Exposed to traffic accidents
- Crowded by passengers
