Nowadays a car becomes the most popular and comfortable type of transport. You can travel by car everywhere. А dream of many people is to buy a car and for most of them it comes true.

The cost of travelling by bus is much lower than that of a car. Bicycle is popular among young people. They use it during the warm seasons to travel around the city or the nearby places. It’s healthy for most of people. Train is popular for its low cost and cozy atmosphere. You can make a long travel on the train and don’t need to pay a lot for it.
