Increasing car usage in many large global cities has caused a number of problems. Some cities have proposed banning private vehicles from the city centre. To what extent do you agree?

Owing to the increase in the number of private cars in large urban areas, it has been suggested by some that private vehicles should be restricted from plying major city roads. In my opinion,

Firstly

, banning cars from the central business districts of a number of large urban areas will actually cause additional problems due to insufficient infrastructure.

This

is because several commuters who rely on using their own cars for their daily activities will suddenly be required to find

For example

, simply adding extra train services will not work if the train stations available cannot cope with these new commuters.
