I don’t have a car or a motorbike, so i usually us public transport, you know, like buses. SOmetimes, i can travel by train or by airplane. As for social, Using a bus encourages people to have a more active healthy lifestyle. Particularly, if they are walking or cycling to a station or a stop. Moreover, the buses helps reduce injuries and fatalities caused by car accidents. As for economic, traveling by bus is cheaper than owing and operating car. As for environmental, using public transport reduces pollution and road congestion ( the more people travel by train,tram, or bus, the fewer cars there will be on the road) and requires less land use for infastructure.
I choose to use a bus because it is cheap. Also, my house is close to a bus station, within a ten minutes walk. In addtion, i usually feel relaxed and peaceful when going by bus rather than riding by a motorbike. Moreover, i will have a more active healthy lifestyle if i am walking or cycling to stations or stops.
If you’ve been following the news it might seem like there’s been a lot of air crashes recently. It might seem that flying has become a risky business.
In a society with a free press and a great number of publications, the likelihood that bad things will happen can be overstated to the point where the public begins to think and act irrationally. Nick Pidgeon, Roger Kasperson and Paul Slovic describe this phenomenon in their 2003 book, The Social Amplification of Risk, where individuals, social groups or institutions such as the press act as “amplification stations”, heightening or dampening certain aspects of the message leading to different interpretations.
For example, the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, the loss of Air Algérie flight AH5017 and most recently Air Asia flight QZ8501: the hyperbolic reporting surrounding these events can induce feelings of dread. In extremis, a routine activity such as hopping on a plane can become stigmatised to the point where the facts and figures surrounding its relative safety are misinterpreted or ignored.
As another example, in the energy sector far more workers are killed mining coal than are killed operating nuclear power plants. Yet because of the association of civilian nuclear power with nuclear weapons, and because of the stigmatisation of nuclear power generation from the 1960s onwards – amplified by accidents such as Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima and environmentalists’ media-savvy campaigns – many believe the opposite to be true.
In the same way that a handful of nuclear accidents had an outsize influence on the perception of nuclear energy’s safety, so the loss of flights MH370, MH17, AH5017 and QZ8501 have influenced how safe people perceive commercial aviation to be.
I rode it just a day ago.
I think I was around 6–8 years old when I actual learned cycling. I truly enjoyed it as a kid and always wanted to go out on the road but my parents never let me. So one find day, when I got done fixing a new road bike, I sneaked out of the compound and went on a ride.
I was scared as shit but that ride, is so fresh in my mind. Scared, I was but the adrenaline.
Fast forwarding 20 years, I now run a company that promotes cycling in India as a sport. We teach cycling, conduct cycling events , provide bicycles on rent and more. I have been truly enjoying doing what I love.
