There is a good deal of evidence that increasing car use is contributing to global warming and having other undesirable effects on people's health and well-being. What can be done to discourage people from using their car?

The number of cars in the world

raise

raises

significantly in recent years,

although

there are tons of evidences that indicate the increase of

car

use

has been contributing to global warming and having other negative effects on people's health for years. In

this

essay I will outline 2 ways in which governments can do to discourage people from using private cars. One possible approach is to make cars expensive to own and

use

,

for instance

, by taxing on trade of cars and increasing the road taxes. These policies might not only reduce the number of cars, but

also

create additional revenue for the governments. One drawback,

however

, is that increasing the taxes may not reduce the

car

purchases unless provide better alternative means of

transport

. Another way in which to discourage people from using private

car

is by making alternative methods of

transport

conveniently

such

as MRT, bus and other forms of public

transport

. Take cities in Taiwan as

example

Suggestion

an example

, compare Taipei

with

to

Kaohsiung. The people who live in Kaohsiung prefer to drive due to the public transportation is inconvenient. The complete public transportation system can encourage people to give up the idea of buying cars. All things considered, if increasing the taxes of

car

to make it expensive to own and

use

, people will be unwilling to purchase cars.

Nevertheless

, it may not reduce the

car

use

without

providing

to be alternative means. To reduce the number of using private cars, both methods should be implemented at the same time.
