Transport in Saudi Arabia: Then and Now

One hundred years ago, most people in my country walked or rode camels or horses. If they lived on the coast and wanted to travel by sea, they used boats, ships or ferries. Nowadays, most people in my city of Dammam travel by cars, trucks, vans or taxis. You can also see some buses, and there is a train that goes on the railway to Riyadh, but we don't have an underground train, metro system, or trams. I guess my favourite means of transportation is the car because I feel safe and comfortable when I drive, and I don't like going by taxis because they can be expensive. I usually drive my car to and from SPSP because it's fast, affordable and easy. However, some days there are huge traffic jams, and I can't come to class on time.
