Private means of transportation

increasingly popular. A lot of people these days prefer to Suggestion

themselves in their personal vehicles. Too much dependence on private cars can lead to laziness, as well as the inability to function properly in social situations. There are quite a number of solutions, however
, government incentives and counselling of individuals are possible solutions.
First
and foremost, the use of public transport
has dwindled over the years, as more and more people have purchased their own cars. Although
, this
development allows for convenience, it has robbed humans of the variety of ways to exercise, especially in this
era of prolonged office hours. People no longer walk to catch a bus or the train. Furthermore
, they tend to wake up late or procastinate
because they drive themselves to their places of business. One way to postpone doing what one should be doing

Secondly
, over-reliance on private cars reduces social interaction and limits the ability of people to function well in social gatherings. The occasional conversations on the subways, at the bus stops or even whilst walking affords us a little social interaction, which is difficult to get in this
digital age. Furthermore
, this
pattern of transport
tends to breed isolation. In addition
, it can worsen climate change through air pollution for
exhaust fumes. To deal with Suggestion
from
this
problem, people should be counselled on the importance of human-human interaction. This
can be done through social media platforms and the news. For instance
, in 2015, the city of London began massive adverts to encourage people to take the bus instead
of their cars to foster social relations. This
reduced their sucide
rates by almost 15%.
In conclusion, the reliance on private cars as the main means of transportation is gaining grounds. Some of the the act of killing yourself
