Our Feet, the Transportation

 

In the past, people had to walk, ride a horse, or ride in a carriage to go somewhere. However, today, as the technology develops rapidly, there have been also many changes in the transportation sector. If people have the time and a car, they can easily go everywhere, or they may use public transportation such as a bus, train, ship, and an airplane. As for me, after I came up to Seoul in March to take courses in Hankuk University of Foreign Studies as an exchange student, I use these things more than before to go to my house in Ulsan. To go there, people can usually use a bus, train, or an airplane, and each of them has some advantages.

 

First of all, to go to Ulsan, bus is the most frequently used. Not only it is the cheaper than any other transportation, but also people can watch TV or use Internet while the bus is moving. In addition, unlike the ordinary buses, this bus never stops to its destination, except go to the rest area for a while. Also, there is lots of legroom in this bus, so people can go comfortably by stretching out their legs.

 

A train is the second most used transportation to go there. Because of the development of technology, Korea has now a high-speed railway, KTX, throughout the country, and it was also opened in Ulsan last year. Now it takes just about 2 hours from Seoul to Ulsan by KTX because it is over 200km. It can accommodate a number of people and reduce carbon emissions. It is also cheaper than an airplane and faster than a bus. Therefore, the number of people who use it is gradually increasing, and I also use KTX a lot.

 

Finally, people get on an airplane. It is the fastest transportation, so they can go to Ulsan in just thirty minutes. Because they can reduce the time, they prefer to take an airplane. It also offers people the better services compared to others. For example, a snack is served onboard. In addition, they can fly in the sky. One of the human desires is to fly in the sky, so some people take an airplane to achieve it through an airplane.

 

In conclusion, people usually go to Ulsan by using public transportation such as a bus, train, or an airplane. Also, there are some advantages each of them. Now people can go everywhere they want if they put their mind to it because of the development of transportation. It is not only fast but comfortable. Because of it, people can also meet their family, friends, boy or girlfriend like me, so it has now become an essential part of life.
