Diary #7 The public transportation in the United States
I live in southern California for a few months. I grew up in an urban part of Japan, so I noticed the public transportation in The U.S. is terrible. If I go to downtown by transport, it will take one and half hours to two hours. If I take a car, it will take only 30 minutes. This circumstance is uncomfortable for me and many people who don't have a car. Moreover, I think this is not good for the environment. Many people live in the U.S. ride a car by only one person. However, if they have useful transportation, they can decrease the amount of oil consumption and air pollution. Anyway, I wanna have a car and am missing flexibility.

Diary #7 The public transportation in the United States
I lived (if you're still living there - "I have been living") in southern California for a few months. I grew up in an urban part of Japan, so I noticed that the public transportation in The U.S. is terrible. If I go to downtown by public transportation, it will take one and half hours to two hours. If I take ("drive" or "ride in" is more natural) a car, it will take only 30 minutes. This circumstance ("situation" is more natural but "circumstance" does still make sense) is uncomfortable for me and many people who don't have a car. Moreover, I think this is not good for the environment. Many people live in the U.S. ride a car by with only one person. However, if they have useful transportation, they can decrease the amount of oil consumption and air pollution. Anyway, I wanna (want to - "wanna" is very colloquial and the rest of your writing is very formal. This is a stylistic choice) have a car and am missing flexibility.Side note: If you're in Los Angeles we are still working on better public transportation. We actually used to have a train system a long time ago but it was destroyed in favor of highways. Here's an article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/apr/25/story-cities-los-angeles-great-american-streetcar-scandal
When my grandfather was a kid he used to take the train!
Here's an excerpt from the article, "At the peak of their combined coverage and accessibility, they made Los Angeles’ public transportation the best in the country, if not the world."
