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 has risen significantly in recent years,

although

there are lots of evidence that indicates the increase of car use has been contributing to global warming and has other negative effects on people's health for years. In

this

essay I will outline two 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 trade of cars and increasing the road taxes. These policies can 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 vehicle purchases unless better alternative means of

transport

. Another way in which people can be discouraged from using

is by making alternative methods of

as MRT, bus and other forms of public

. Take cities in Taiwan as an example. People who live in Kaohsiung prefer to drive due to the inconvenient public

. The complete public transportation system can encourage people to give up the idea of buying cars. All things considered, if owning and using cars

more expensive, people will be unwilling to purchase cars.

Nevertheless

, it may not reduce the car use without providing better public transportation to be alternative means. To reduce the number of using private cars, both methods should be implemented at the same time.
