20. Do you think it is a good idea to offer free bus service to the elderly? Why or
why not?
你认为给老年人提供免费巴士服务是个好主意吗?为什么，为什么不呢?
Providing our senior citizens with free public transportation will encourage them to ‘make the most of it’ and will not be using their cars, which means fewer car accidents on our roads. Elderly people need the public transport, mainly because we need fewer of them driving on the roads to reduce the amount of crashes and accidents that have occurred previously.公共交通更环保
Eldery people are getting old and have weak bones. It's harder to travel on feet. And it might be hard to get money. We should be kind and generous and give them free bus rides. No matter how much space they take or how mean they are, they're getting old and at the end of their days, we can at least help them a little. They have trouble carrying their bags and things like that and I think we could help them out. So I think we should give them free bus rides so they could get where they need or trying to go.
