In some large cities, people have to pay a fee when they drive their cars into the city centre, in a policy to reduce the number of cars in the city. Give reasons in support of and opposing this policy, and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

As many large cities Around The World become increasingly crowded and polluted, imposing a charge for cars that enter

city

centres is an attractive Idea.

Although

it does have some drawbacks, I support

this

proposal, though with some reservations. Making drivers pay a fee to drive into the centre of the

city

would discourage some drivers, which would reduce the amount of traffic congestion as well as air pollution. Public buses and trams would

then

be able to get to their destinations faster, so commuters would not spend so much time travelling to and from work.

City

Centres would be more pleasant places for workers, shoppers, cyclists and pedestrians in general. It can be a argued that

this

policy

would discriminate against those who are less well off, because wealthy drivers would not be deterred by

such

a fee.

Also

, if the government failed to invest more money in public transport, travel by bus or tram could become more uncomfortable for the greater number of passengers. On top of that, it could be logistically and technically very difficult to install the equipment needed at the main points at which cars could enter the

city

centre. I think that

this

policy

is a good idea, through the fee on cars would not necessarily have to be enforced on weekends or late at night.

This

policy

has the potential to make

City

centres more accessible for the general public provided that there was an efficient public transport system that was a viable alternative to the private car. Overall, these

policy

worth trying in order to reduce the domination of

city

centres by motor vehicles and to create a cleaner and more attractive urban environment.
