I do not know how people in New Zealand can handle using that complicated transportation system for all these years. I have been here in New Zealand for nearly four months, and I hate using buses or even train. For the past three months, I may be used buses and train for not more than five times.
The train station is not far, but I need ten minutes to reach it on foot. Although, that is not a problem. The problems are that the train and the buses using fix roads, and that is the thing that I do not like. Besides that, count how many stops the bus or the train going to stop!. What a terrible thing.
Finally, after all recent months I bought a car before two weeks, and I feel comfortable. I can go where ever I want, do not need to wait for the bus or train. However, I used to walk every day to school and I did everything by using my bicycle, so I do not want to lose my fitness. I am trying to run daily and do exercises to stay fit.
Here are some photos for you :
Wish me best luck because I suffered a lot from my previous car at home which was Peugeot 407!.

I agree that public transport in Auckland is not very good. This encourages more people to travel by private car which then increases traffic congestion and pollution.
I hope you can use your car to explore New Zealand more thoroughly.
Your sentences and paragraphs are structured very well, but here are some language points to think about:
For the past three months, I may be used buses and train for not more than five times.
... I maybe used buses and trains no more than five times.
'maybe' - adv ('may be' is auxiliary + main verb)
'used' - main verb (past simple)
'no more' is used to say how often
The problems are that the train and the buses using fix roads, and that is the thing that I do not like.
...the trains and buses use fixed roads...
'use' - main verb (present simple)
'fixed' - adj. (past participle)
Finally, after all recent months I bought a car before two weeks.
...I bought a car two weeks ago.
We tend to use before/after to clarify the sequence of events. We don't use it to say one event happened in the past or future.
Nice photos, by the way.
Are they your kids?
Thanks Marcus for that useful language.
I'm planning to go to Rotorua and visit the beaches next holiday and I hope to enjoy it.
Are they look like me ?! Marcus, are you kidding me ?!
They are the home-stay children ( Farrah & Draven ) :p.
My greetings for you.
Sorry, Ali. No, they don't look anything like you!
Rotorua is lovely -- it's where my family come from. Other places I recommend are:
Mt. Taranaki, the Coromandel, and Northland (north of Bay of Islands, particularly).
