You have to get there early and wait for(等待) hours for the plane to take off(起飞) and it is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but it takes hours to go out of the airport and into the city.

I also like cars. You can start your journey(旅行) when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in the car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
