Essay topics
The topic I have chosen for my first major essay is why we should have more public transportation in the city of Houston, as well as what would happen if we did.
My research question is one of two questions. One, “Why isn’t there already more public transportation options in the city of Houston?” and two, “What public transportation does the city of Houston already have in place that either not many people know about or that most don’t take advantage of?”. The reason I picked possibly both of these is that there could be public transportation out there already and a sufficient amount however nobody knows about it, if that were the case then my argument would change to why doesn’t everyone know about the options of public transportation and carpooling.
This topic of public transportation hits a home with me. This is because last semester I actually was sharing a car with my brother and so I would carpool with my dad and whoever out of the two of us had to go home first would take the bus home. Not only was this a hassle because sometimes you would be waiting for up to 30 min at the bus station for a bus to come by but then when it did then it would be at least a 45 min bus ride, not to mention that sometimes there weren’t enough seats on the bus. Now I understand that me saying that there weren’t enough seats on the bus means that people ride the bus but I think that its quite the opposite, it means that there aren’t enough busses mostly because there is still traffic.
Some of my ideas consist of educating the reader on why this is a problem to begin with, what are some options that we could follow to sometime in the future have a better public transportation system, and relate some of the points of my argument to some personal anecdotes to try and relate the reader to my side of the argument.
