In Hong Kong, there are a lot of different transports that we can travel on. For example, the bus, taxi, MRT, minibus, ferry and plane. The transport I like the most is the MTR because at the MTR stations, there are many places to eat and to shop. When I travel by MTR, it is very fast and quick. The MTR is clean, cool and the seats are very comfortable. The MTR is easy to travel on because Vs. everywhere we go, we can easily find MTR stations. I do not like traveling on the bus very much because the bus is slower than the MTR and the bus is not as clean as the MTR. When I travel by bus, I also get bus sick on the bus. At the bus stations, I can’t find their timetable so easily. However, at the MTR stations, I can easily find their timetables and read their maps. I do not like travelling on the bus. I think the bus is not so cool. Therefore, the MTR is better than the bus. The Mass Transport Railway Bus (MTR)

Furthermore, the common in the early mornings as we may need to wait MTR is airy and it can travel to a lot of places.

For example, at seven o’clock in the morning,

it is too crowded because many people will be using the MTR at that time. I do not like this. Sometimes, the MTR can be smelly too especially when someone sweats and it is too crowded. Therefore, during busy times, taking another MTR train can be troublesome because there are too many people taking the MTR. Overall, I still think the MTR is better than the bus.
