Why would people invest on cars when they have public transport? The truth is that public transport is not well presented to the public. This is an issue that can be seen in various countries, mainly in cities with a high number of population. This problem is caused by the lack of attention that the government and we provide to it. This are some solutions that may help the use of public transport.
People need more than one way to go around the city. Such as a metro that surrounds the entire city, this idea has been implemented in London and everyone around there uses them. It is extremely easy to go from one point to another in a matter of minutes. Though we have to take into account the amount of money and time the government has to invest on such a big project, either way, the end product will most definitely be a success.
Another solution is to educate people by introducing them in a simple way how to use public transport. Developing easy-to-understand guides and placing them around the city. For example, putting maps that show the layout of the city every two blocks would help them orientate themselves over the city. Some would argue that they should focus on developing on bus stops or other public services instead of laying “useless” things for people to see. However, wouldn’t it be easier for new comers to be shown a detailed map that they can get used to?
People will get used to going around the city but that depends mostly on the government and how much they plan to invest. If these solutions would be introduced and presented in the correct way, people are going to use public transport more often.
