Methods of transportation Transportation has been well developed over thousands of years Despite of this, people always puzzled when encountered with short distance trip 40 miles, for instance, is till hard to choose Due to different transports bring various advantages and disadvantages There are three sort of traffic tools ideal to cope with the short distance trip, coach, private car, and train To be honest, I prefer train most in my point of view In the following discussion I will reason and provide evidences to support my opinion It is quite easy for average people to choose driving a car Obviously, this is the most convenience way to have a short trip Even though, it still has some hidden problems Firstly, once you face a traffic jam you will have no idea what to but wait Secondly, looking for toilet can be another big problem Taking coach can be the cheapest approach I suppose Similar as driving a car, coach still cannot avoid the fate of traffic jam Besides, since you want to purchase a ticket, you have to book it in advance At same time, unlike a private car, a coach cannot stop at your desire destination directly In particular, if you want go to Oxford, wait a minute, you have to stop at Coventry and Reading by sequence Eventually, may I introduce my favorite, train, which is the brilliant traffic tool In the first place, it is quiet and nice The large seats, bright windows with marvelous view, well-controlled air conditioning and even the convenience store can provide you absolutely comfortable environment In the second place, it is fast You only need to spend two hours on the train to travel from Birmingham to London, and train stations always linking with underground, bus stations and taxi stop Last but not least, taking the train is convenient and cheap People always regard train as some thing inconvenient and expensive In fact, there is only about 10 to 15 minutes between two trains with same destination As well as this, if you book the seat days in advance you can have quite cheap price To sum up, I must admit that everyone has his taste For people like me have no driving license, taking a train could be a fairly good idea Although, coach and private car have some advantages, train would always be my first choice
