英文小作文：

Fewer and Fewer People Are Using Public Transport

With the rise of private cars and the increasing popularity of ride-hailing services, fewer and fewer people are using public transport. Many people now prefer to use their own cars or hire a private taxi because they find public transport inconvenient or unreliable. However, public transport is still essential for many people, especially those who live in remote areas or have busy schedules. It is more environmentally friendly and more cost-effective than private transport, and it helps to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Therefore, we should encourage more people to use public transport and support policies that promote sustainable transport.
