2. The advantage of using public transporation is cheap.

Above 2, which one is correct? #1.

1. It costs a lot to drive a car, but it only costs 1dollar to take a bus. This is best.

2. It costs a lot to drive a car, but it only costs 1dollar to take buses. Not wrong, but sounds awkward.

3. Driving my own car is expensive, but buses are just 1dollar. Not wrong, but sounds awkward.

Above 3, which one is correct?

1. The bus has to stop at many stations so it takes a lot of time. We speak of 'bus stops' along a bus route. A bus station is like a terminal for many bsues and many routes.

2. They(buses) stop many stops so it takes a lot of time. OK, but awkward to repeat the word 'stop'.
Maybe 'They make a lot of stops'.

3. They stop many stations so it takes a lot of time.

Above 3, which one is corret?

Please say 'please' when you ask people to help you.
Thanks, Clive

1. The advantage of using public transportation is that it is cheap.
2. The advantage of using public transportation is cheap.
Above 2, which one is correct?
The first sentence is correct, but in everyday conversation the sentence would go as follows, "The best thing about public transportation is that it's cheap."

1. It costs a lot to drive a car, but it only costs 1dollar to take a bus.
2. It costs a lot to drive a car, but it only costs 1dollar to take buses.
3. Driving my own car is expensive, but buses are just 1dollar.
Above 3, which one is correct?

The first one is correct, but when writing numbers of values lower than 10, you should spell out the number. If you are writing a sentence that contains a series of numbers and one of the numbers is 10 or higher, it is acceptable to use the digit instead of the word; however, if you are required to use the digit and that digit is associated with currency, it is best that you also use the symbol for dollar "quot; instead of the word.

"It costs a lot to drive a car, but it only costs one dollar to take a bus."
"It costs $20 to drive a car, but it only cost $1 to take a bus."

1. The bus has to stop at many stations so it takes a lot of time.
2. They(buses) stop many stops so it takes a lot of time.
3. They stop many stations so it takes a lot of time.
Above 3, which one is corret?

"The bus stops often, so it takes a lot of time." or "The bus stops often, so it takes longer to get places."

My suggestions are closer to what I would say and/or expect to hear in conversation.

The above poster is write about pleasantries when asking for help. A question without "please" sounds more like a demand than a question. No one really appreciates demands, right?
