The first car appeared on British road in 1988. By the year 2000 there maybe 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?

Since the

first

invention of the

car

, the numbers have grown exponentially in the most parts of the world. It is generally argued that

alternative

forms of

transport

should be encouraged and there should be control on

car

ownership

and

use

through the legalisation of laws. I strongly believe in

this

idea, though some people disagree.

This

essay will discuss why it is necessary to promote an

alternative

to reduce vehicles on roads. While, those who support an increased number of

car

ownership

, argue that

alternative

forms of

transport

are not reliable. They mean to say, the public transit lacks quality of service and that these tend to be mostly delayed or break down halfway due to lack of maintenance and so on. Ultimately, people are late to work and frustration rises and,

thus

the effects are seen in the reduced efficiency and productivity of the people. In short, it is not a good idea to encourage

use

of

alternative

transport

options.

However

, there remain strong reasons in favour of encouraging

alternative

forms of the transportation services and putting international laws to control

car

ownership

and usage.

First

and foremost, doing so will help to reduce the number of small vehicles; eventually reducing fuel consumption and co2 emission. To exemplify, a report published in The Hindu Times of India, said that, the introduction of a metro railway system in Bangalore has cut down 40% of cars on roads leading to the reduction in air pollution. Another reason is to save the resources used for building cars. Many organisations voicing for the environment have shown facts, that clarifies human are over exploiting natural resources, and we have reached a point of running out of them.

Therefore

, it is critical to introduce laws to control the mass production and

use

of vehicles in order to save resources for future generation. In conclusion, though it is true that often times public transits are not reliable, I strongly agree to encourage the

use

of other forms of

transport

and introduce the international laws to limit the

car

ownership

and uses, for it is an essential step towards preserving the environment.
