The private motor vehicle has greatly improved individual freedom of movement. Moreover, the automobile has become a status symbol. Yet the use of private motor vehicles has contributed to some today’s most serious problems. How can the use of private motor vehicles be reduced?

People these days tend to have their own

motor

vehicles because it will be easier for them to go to other places. They do not have to wait for a bus. But unfortunately the

use

of excessive private

motor

vehicles can cause some problems,

such

as air pollution, loud noise and else. There are several things that can reduce the

use

of personal

motor

vehicles; Government Regulation, Better Public Transportation, Socialization of the Problems.

First

of all, the Government has to make stricter regulations about

this

problem.

For example

, one family is not allowed to have more than one car.

Moreover

, people who want to buy a

motor

vehicle must have a certain amount of money in their bank account. Etc. These regulations will reduce the purchase of vehicles.

Secondly

, in a developing country

such

as Indonesia, most people refuse to

use

public transportation because its condition is very bad. So, the Government should prepare a good and comfortable transportation

such

as Train Express, it can make people seldom

use

their private vehicles, because

this

public transportation is not only fine, but

also

cheap and fast.

Lastly

, the Government should socialize the major problems that are caused by

motor

vehicles. It will increase people’s awareness and it may change their habits. If they used to drive their own car, because of the Socialization, people may gather in one car if they want to go in the same direction. In conclusion, Government has to take care of

this

problem from now on, because if they do not, we may face a bigger problem in 5 or 10 years later.
