While public transport is a good way to fight global
warming, this is by no means the only reason to use it. Firstly, even if global
warming isn’t a problem, the pollution causing it certainly is. PT uses less
fuel than cars, so it also deals with peak oil.
Public transport can also move more people than cars, so
they can reduce congestion and parking problems. By extension of their
efficiency, PT takes up less space and requires less subsidy/is more profitable
than cars, while still being cheaper, providing mobility to those who can’t or
don’t drive. Many people just find it more convenient and less stressful than
driving. (ABS Public Transport Use for Work and Study)
In conclusion, to say that global warming isn’t true is no
reason to drive everywhere and ignore public transport.
