Examiner: What do you think about the transportation system in your city?

Candidate: The transportation system in my city needs to improve a lot. Of course, there are plenty of roads and flyovers; however, during peak hours getting to work or home on time is quite a hassle. Many roads are in bad shape. I hope the government spends more money on developing infrastructure.
