Answer 1

It's hard to use the bus in our city as you have to walk 4 or 5 blocks to a bus stop and then wait out in the cold for a while. They only run every 1/2 hour here.

Answer 2

It makes the city very busy and overcrowded. Certain times of the day end up in traffic jams. Taking the bus saves gas and reduces air pollution and is a very effective way to travel and in some city's like larger ones such as new york, are sometimes the only choice besides a cab.

Answer 3

Our city, Albuquerque, is so spread out that it is hard to take the bus or any transportation system. On a normal day durring rush hour it takes me 30min to get to work, and 45min to get home. If I go home for lunch however, the commute only takes me 15min.

It takes me 20 minutes to get to our freeways. Also, our bus system is stupid. I could take the bus to the mall which is a 5 minute drive, and it would take me half an hour. There isn't even a bus route from my house to my work.

We recently established a train which is supposed to ease the commute to work and help people get to places faster. It runs north to south and then you can get on a bus to go where your going. If I where to take the train to work I would have to drive 15minutes, park at the train station, take the shuttle to work and it would take 30 more minutes (when the train station is 5 minutes away).

So I guess to anwer your question...urbanization sucks for traffic!
