And explain why you often use it

: Sample Answer

Underpass train is a common vehicle type in my city and I often use this transportation system. Though bus is the most common transportation system in my city, there are so many people who use the underpass trains to reach to their schools and workplaces

I use the trains almost 5-8 times a week to reach my workplace/ university. While returning home, I take the taxi as train schedule in the evening contradicts my schedule. The train is much cheaper than the public bus or taxi in my city. Since I do not own a car I need to rely on the public transportation systems and the train costs only a few dollars per week. Someone can have a train pass for the whole month only for 50 dollars and this would allow him/her to travel any places within the city as many time as he/she needed

The train station is in walking distance from my living place and that’s the primary reason I prefer this transportation to reach my university/ workplace. I do not have to wait for a long and usually I can get a moderate seat in it. There is no traffic jam to kill my time on the road and that’s another important reason for my preference for this train transportation system. Finally, I can save a great deal of money using the train over the taxi or other types of transportation systems. Because all of these facilities and advantages I often use this transportation system
