More and more people are relying  on their private cars as a major means of transportation. Describe some of the problems over-reliance on cars can cause, and suggest at least one possible solution.

increasingly popular. A lot of people these days prefer to

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 procrastinate because they drive themselves to their places of business. One way to

this

obstacle, is the provision of state incentives for those who take public

, in order to make it appealing to the society.

For example

, in Finland, the government allows fifty squats as a bus fare to enable people exercise, as well as save

. The number of people taking public

rose by 40% after

initiative as most people found it exhilarating.   

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

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 suicide rates by almost 15%.     In conclusion, the reliance on private cars as the main means of transportation is gaining grounds. Some of the
