Do you agree that the advantages cars bring outweigh the disadvantages?

It is true that the number of
car
owners is increasing every day due to the demand for travelling from one place to another. Despite some obvious advantages of
this
trend, I would argue that there are outweighed by the disadvantages. On the one hand, there are two major profits that we can gain from having our own
car
.
First
, having a private
car
brings us convenient, comfortable and more private while travelling
on the contrary
, to the public transports which are so crowded and disgusting.
For example
, you can chill and read books, listen to music or even play with others in your own
car but

car, but
of these things seem impossible in busses or subway trains.
Second
, if you have a
car
, it will give you the freedom to travel. You do not have to fix yourself in one timetable, you can travel anytime you want and it is faster than going on public transport.
On the other hand
, I believe that the drawbacks more significant than
such
benefits. To have a private
car
, the owner not only has to buy it at an enormous price, but he has to pay for any additional costs to maintain and repair for it and of course while comparing it to travelling by public transports it will be much more expensive. Due to the convenience of private cars, nowadays there are more and more people owning a
car
and
this
is the main reason for several cities' problems that we have to deal with
such
as heavy traffic or transport accidents. Another reason is that more cars mean more pollution. Environmental pollution is a serious issue today and at any cost, we must reduce the amount of pollution, and owning a
car
is never a good idea. To sum up, having a private
car
is convenient and give someone freedom, but it seems to me that there are more significant disadvantages than advantages. The government should build an easily accessible, safe and efficient public transport system to reduce the number of private cars.
