Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership & use. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people think that governments should promote other forms of transport

such

as metro trains and electric buses.

In addition

to that, international rules and regulations must be made to regulate the ownership of the vehicles and to put restrictions on the use of motorized vehicles in urban areas. I agree with

this

notion.

This

encouragement of modern transportation will reduce the health risks and new laws will curb the growth of upcoming cars on the roads. The promotion of alternative transport like metro trains will greatly reduce the pollution produced by conventional transportation

such

as cars and motorcycles.

This

is because, the traditional IC engines are less efficient and are the cause of hazardous pollution in the cities because they release their unburned fuel into the atmosphere, creating health risks for the residents of that city. Issues like these are absent in the metro trains which run purely on electricity, as well as carrying millions of passengers back and forth from their office to their homes safely and without releasing a single pollutant into the atmosphere.

For example

, trains in New York City can carry 10,000 passengers on a single trip and can travel at a speed, far superior to their traditional counterparts, and that even without burning low-quality fuel, saving huge amounts of carbon going into the atmosphere.

Besides

this

, the introduction of new international rules will help in restricting the growth of upcoming cars on the roads by managing the ownership of the vehicles.

Although

this

control will restrict the personal freedom of the choice,

however

, it is essential to keep the cities from choking. In China,

For example

, a family is allowed to have only one

car

for their personal use and if they want to have another vehicle, they have to explain to the authorities about how the

second

car

is essential for their daily commute and that even takes years before they get permits to buy a

second

car

. These measures can help to prevent traffic jams in urban areas and can provide more freedom for pedestrians to safely commute around the cities. In conclusion, the promotion of alternative transportation is necessary to lower the pollution caused by the thousands of vehicles on the road. I believe that the introduction of a new set of international laws to discourage ownership of the

car

and restricting these vehicles entering the urban

centers

an area that is approximately central within some larger region

centres

will provide freedom

pedestrians and reduce traffic congestions.
