Answer 1

A decision that a student can take in order to ease the burden of the cost of transportation is of residing close to the school and opting to work close to the school premises itself so that the costs of transportation reduce and the student is also able to allocate more time for studies.

The student can also opt to travel using a bicycle as several major towns and cities have cycle tracks, this will reduce the transportation cost and help the student stay fit and healthy.

He/she can take a monthly pass of public transport such as for a bus or a train route, which are cheaper when one opts to buy the pass for a longer duration, this eliminates the chances of costs fluctuating and the student is able to take advantage of several routes.

The student can also opt for an electronic scooter, which are cheaper than cars and save gasoline costs, so that he/she can travel as per their convenience and don't have to rely on public transport, and thereby reduce the overall costs of transportation.
