Shared transport
Hey kiddo, do you know what sharing is? Like when you share your toys with your friends or share your snacks with your siblings? Well, shared transport is kind of like that. It's when a group of people share a ride in a vehicle like a car, bus or train instead of each person taking their own separate ride.
Let's say you and your friends are going to the park to play. Instead of each of your parents driving you in separate cars, they decide to take turns driving and picking up all of the kids at once. That way there's only one car on the road instead of several, and it's better for the environment too because there's less pollution.
Now, let's imagine a city with lots of people who all need to get to work, school, or the grocery store. Instead of everyone driving their own car and causing traffic jams, they can use shared transport options like buses or trains. Lots of people can ride in one big bus or train together, which is more efficient and saves money for everyone.
Some cities even have programs where you can share rides with strangers who are going to the same place as you, called ride-sharing or carpooling. It's like finding new friends to ride with to save money and make the roads less crowded. So remember, sometimes sharing is not only nice, it's also a smart way to get around!
