Я думаю, что самый лучший транспорт самолет. И сейчас попытаюсь доказать почему. Во-первых, самолет самый быстрый транспорт. Во-вторых, самолет облетает все преграды по пути. Только есть один минус, самолет не летает в плохую погоду. Так, что я считаю самолет самым лучшим транспортом. I think that the best transport the plane. And now I will try to prove why. First, plane the fastest transport. Secondly, the plane flies over all the obstacles on the way. Only there is one minus, the plane does not fly in bad weather. So I consider the plane as the best transport.
