So the opening line might be:

“Of course, it goes without saying that there’s quite a mixed variety of public transport in my city.”

Now use the following to introduce the 1^st type:


But I guess the most + adj. … would probably be…
However, I suppose the most + adj. … could possibly be…
Though I think the most + adj. … would potentially be…
Yet I imagine the most + adj. … may well be…
Still, I suspect that the most + adj. … could perhaps be…


Some adjective vocabulary:

Common	Commonplace	Influential
Popular	Frequent	Prevalent
Fashionable	Trendy	Notorious
Famous	Well-known	Crucial

Important	Significant	Widespread
Standard	Conventional	Celebrated
Hip	With-it	Commonly-used

So the 1^st sentence could be:

“Of course, it goes without saying that there’s quite a mixed variety of public transport in my city. Though I think the most commonly-used would potentially be buses.”

Now use a phrase to add a detail:


The thing with buses is that…
I assume buses are so + adj. because…
The point I want to add about buses is that…
And what you have to realize with buses is that…
And the explanation for this could be that…
And the basis of this is that…


So the 1^st part of the answer could be:

“Of course, it goes without saying that there’s quite a mixed variety of public transport in my city. Though I think the most commonly-used would potentially be buses. And the explanation for this could be that they are so cheap and reliable. In fact the average bus fare in my city is about one yuan for a single journey.”

Now use a linking phrase to introduce a 2^nd type:


Besides (buses), …
As well as (buses), …
In addition to (buses), …
Another kind of (public transport) would be…
Another form of (public transport) worth mentioning could be…
A second variety of (public transport) would be something like…
