CELPIP Field Trip Transportation Survey

Field Trip Transportation Survey

Your children’s grade 5 class teacher likes to take the children on field trips to museums or parks. Sometimes the teacher takes the children on public buses. Some parents are unhappy. They say the school should always use school buses even though it is more expensive. You have been asked to respond to an opinion survey.
Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.

Option A: Public Transit: I think it’s okay for children to travel on public transit.
Option B: School Buses: I would prefer children only travel on school buses.

Both the options have some advantages, as I can see. Overall, however, I would like to prefer that children only travel on school bus because of so many reasons.

Firstly, school bus will be much safer and reliable than the public transit. It is mostly the school’s responsibility. On the other hand, kids feel relaxed as they often go on the school bus, and they are in the same kind of group as they were in school.

Secondly, public transit has to pick travelers at many stops on the way that will take much longer than the school bus. Most of the time, there will not be enough space for the whole group to go in the same bus.

Finally, it will be more joyful if all the kids went together on school bus as they could plan to play some games on the way. They have more time to interact with each other, share some personal information and make new friends. Also, kids can share their food as well.

I think these are the reasons to choose school bus rather than public transport.
