Getting around Kingston as a Teen

Kingston

is a thriving shopping destination, with many services to offer, varying from

hairdressers to restaurants, gyms to cinemas. As human beings we prefer variety,

especially when we have grown accustomed to such a great selection. So when it

comes down to travel and how we get into Kingston it is extremely important

that our journeys are quick and take the minimum amount of time. Some ways of

travelling into Kingston would be by car, bus, bike or walking. Teenagers are

often restricted to using the bus routes or cycling into Kingston, cycling can

be dangerous particularly when you are cycling on busy roads. However using the

bus means that hopefully your journey is faster and you don’t have to worry

about finding a bike rack.

As teenagers

we are dependent on our parents and the government, when

we are travelling we find that using buses compared with other countries

is really quite good. Ayah Sharif said ‘we have buses and trains, but the buses

can be very unreliable.’ This effect has been shrouded over the vast

majority of teenagers due to efficiency and timing of buses. The price of

traveling via bus is very cheap compared to what it would cost to drive and

park a car. Therefore the more beneficial form of transportation to use is bus,

which is also helping reduce the worlds CO2 emissions.
