The Orange’s County transportation is much better than in Ho Chi Minh city, my home town. The first impression about the OC transportation is the buses. I used to take bus to go to school in the summer semester. It was easy to me to find the bus route online. Even though, at that time I just came here and I even could not recognize the road and the direction, but I could find myself the way to get to school by bus. Everything can easily find online and the bus stops are everywhere. The most interesting thing is the bus is free for students. It is a great offer for us. In contrast, Ho Chi Minh’s city buses are crazy. I never went to school by bus because in my house area there were no buses. I always went out by my motorbike instead of bus. Buses are always late and we need to pay for the bad service.

Now, I am no longer go to school by bus. Instead, I share the car pool with my friend to save money and time. I have not had a car yet because the economy is so tough now. It affects my family a lots. If i want to go somewhere in the weekend, I could ask my cousin gives me a drive or I can take a bus.

Hey Rachel,

I don't any ideas for this topic, i will try to write later.Your comparison is interesting between American's transportation and Vietnam's one. But i think in the future, Vietnam will have the good public transportation. We come here to study good things for our country. Please be optimistic okay.

Have a good night, Bachel

I can not believe that! I hate cars here and I also hate the buses here!

Anyway, I like your optimism.

I'm glad you like the OC bus system. Many people do not. I always think that the buses on OC are so empty. Maybe that is why the service is so bad - because no one uses it!

But you know,I really hate the bus schedule.They might have two buses in one hour(?)this really make me crazy!it's very unconvenient!
