In our modern word today, there is transport of choices for us. Although people do enjoy the convenience and privacy of traveling in their own private vehicles, in my opinion they may choose public transports. Overall, we are able to recognize its huge benefits such as safety, facility and familiarize with environment, even in some cases these vehicles also assist us moving faster than others do.

Daily, if we spend a few minute to travel around the world by Medias, we will be able to catch images of pitiful accidents and most of them come from cars and motorbikes. In Vietnam, a developing country of Southeast Asia, where almost people do enjoy the convenience and privacy of traveling in their own private vehicle is motorbike, no more than to speak that traffic accidents are really an obsession. It is a very different picture from developed countries. These countries, everyone often select public transport instead. According to Regional Transit Authority report, in United State riding transit bus is 91 times safer than car travel.
