American Public Transportation

In China,there is an old saying ,says if you want to be rich,mend roads first. The firse time I arrived at Los Angeles,the strongest impression is there are so mang cars,but only few people.All roads were filled with speeding automobiles.America is the most developed country in the world,it has the best roads.Driving a car here is pretty convinent.
When I arrive in Fullerton,a lot of parkings come to my sight.Whatever you are a student or a professor,driving home is so commen that nobody will be surprise at it.
I lived with a friend of mine two weeks ago,but now I just moved into a nearby apartment .Because I haven't got a driving licence,I ride a bicycle to school everyday.But I plan to buy a car in three months,because I think it is much too inconvenient if you don't drive a car.In the USA,cars are like our legs,you can go nowhere if you don't have legs.
From my perspective,transportation here goes a little bit extremely.There are so many cars but very few buses and subways.It may be difficult to say whether this situation is benefit or harmful.On one hand,it is commen for residents to drive to work or home,cars make their life handy.On the other hand,little public transportation brings much trouble to international students like us.It's impossible for us to buy a car in the first several weeks.We must endure the inconvenience for couple of days.
In my hometown,there are much public transportation as well as many cars,it is convenient for most people,including residents and students.Public transportation is pretty cheap,taking subway only costs 2 Yuan.you can go nearly everywhere by public transportation.However,there may be much more traffic jams in China,because of too many buses and bikes.
So, I think it is not easy to say which transportation system is better,they both have advantages and disadvantages.What is more important is to take advantage of strong point and improve our weak point. Only in the way,can we make our life better and more colourful!

I have read Helen's and Leah's journals.
