Public transportation
First of all, I'd like to know if the correct sentence is public transportation or public transport.
Anyway, I want to write about the means of transport in my city.
Here, there is not any train system, neither subway, there are only buses whose system is very disordered, they polute the environment because are very old.
This system doesn´t contribute at all to improve the mobility of the people in city, there are not bus stops, so they pick up and drop off people anywhere causing congestion and traffic jams. Things don't change because the ones who control this system are often friends of the politicians who are in charge of the regulations or are connected in some other way.
I would like to see in this city a friendly system, ruled by the order, where people can trust the schedules, so they could know the exact times to pick up the bus and to arrive to their destination, it would give us a better standard of life. I don't mind if I have to walk some blocks to get to the station, the point is that the journey to the office or home be quick.

"public transportation" is a long winded way of saying "public transport". Many Americans tend to add the suffix, "ion" to all sorts of words they think is a verb only. They forget that such verbs can be used as a noun also. Maybe it is because adding the suffix turns the verb into a noun to mean the "state of the action". Another word that comes to mind is "experiment". "The experiment was a success". They love to use "experimentation" instead.
