The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000, there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads. Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays

usage

of cars has become increasingly popular as a symbol of the status quo. In order to control the

usage

these vehicles, others modes of

transportation

should be encouraged and governments should keep an eye on the ownership

also

. I definitely agree with the notion that the governments should not only make strict rules to control the

usage

of cars, but

also

run some awareness programs which encourages people to use public

transportation

. Every

second

of

time

is more valuable, so these days no one is in a position to waste the

time

just for waiting and

transportation

.

This

makes everyone to go on their own vehicle which is more reliable than any other modes of

transportation

.

For example

, in India the

time

taken to reach the agency village like Aruku from their district headquarters is almost 6 to 7 hours by means of public transport. Whereas it takes 3 to 4 hours, if they use their own vehicle.

This

makes them to own a car.

Instead

of buying a car for everyone, they can form a group and travel which reduces their expenditures.

In addition

to that the amount of pollution that are being released from every vehicle can be reduced.

For instance

, in china for every 10 people 9 are having their own cars which make huge traffic jams at traffic signals and the amount of pollution being released crosses the specified values.

Finally

, I completely agree that governments should organise programs to create awareness in the people towards the

usage

of public

transportation

and at the same

time

stringent rules must be formed to control the

usage

and ownership.
