Of course, the further you have to go, the more so tired you will become. In some ways walking is more healthier than travelling by bus or car, but it can be just as the unhealthy because cities are the much more polluted than they used to be. Cars are faster of course and more than convenient, but as cities 7………………….become more of crowded, parking is getting harder. Sometimes public transport is better,even though buses don’t go as fast as cars do it. Cars are a lot more and convenient but as they cause most pollution, it is the better to avoid using them if possible.
