During times of war, man is exposed to the most gruesome aspects of life such as death, starvation, and imprisonment. In some cases, the aftermath is even more disastrous, causing posttraumatic stress disorder, constant guilt, as well as physical and mental scarring, but these struggles are not the only things that humans can take away from the experience. War can bring out the appreciation of the little things in life, such as the safety people take for granted, the beauty of nature, and the kindness of others. These universal consequences of fighting all contribute to what war is really capable of doing, sometimes bringing out the best and worst in people, and constantly shaping society. In The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien goes through this himself when he writes about setting up base camp in the Vietnamese pagoda, the return to site of Kiowa’s death, the story about the old poppa-san guide, and Mitchell Sanders’ “moment of peace”. When O’Brien includes these stories, it is not to insert joy into a tragedy, but rather to create a more wholesome and authentic feel into a tough, realistic war story. O’Brien’s’ “sweet” stories are there to show the hope he had during war, and also serve as a universal example that even in the darkest tunnels, it is always possible to find rays of light.

The first aim of the BRT in South Africa was to reduce the travelling times and travelling cost of the passengers. The second thing was that BRT was introduced to enhance options for finding work and reaching other activities especially for people who were disadvantaged before like disabled people. The third reason was to enhance safety or environmental benefits. The fourth reason for the implementation of BRT in South Africa was to finance infrastructure investment programme in order to do what is called urban regeneration and upliftment, this was done by improving and upgrading roads and intersections and provision of cycle ways parallel to bus lanes and also to upgrade stations through redevelopment and landscaping (Vaz and Venter 2012: 620). According to Vaz and Venter (2012: 620) “the employment benefits might accrue to workers within the transport industry depending on the extent to which BRT replaces existing public transport services and re-employs low-wage workers at better pay scales or under better working
First of the difference between public transportation and private car is convenience in travel. There are many type of transportations that people can choose to travelling such as bus and van. People can save time to go work in morning and to back when they finished working. Even though, people have to go to work in a crowded bus, people can avoid and also less traffic jams from using their own car on the road. If they go to work or somewhere by private car, they will get serious when they get stick in their car for a long time. People do not have to find parking when they go out to work or shopping. Moreover, public transportation saves environment because it helps people decrease air pollution from using private car.
Appropriate infrastructure forms an important part of the customer experience and helps to make public transport a competitive, viable alternative to private vehicle travel. In order to achieve this, high- quality infrastructure needs to be matched with efficient and reliable services. Therefore, distribution of quality infrastructure is a key element of the public transport system.
If you live in a town or a city where the public transport networks are regular and offer a multitude of routes it makes sense to use it. Especially in big cities like London where the tubes offer a great service, allowing you to travel all over the city without the stress of driving on the busy roads or having to pay the congestion charges.
