this

of all, citizens prefer cars to public transport due to their convenience and reliability but they sacrifice fresh air.

This

is because usually,cars require petrol that, in turn, leads to a large number of emissions which are harmful to human's health.

As a result

, in large industrial cities where there is a high level of traffic and,

hence

, people inhale a dreadful air

that is

likely to impact their lungs.

For instance

, in China and Korea face masks had become very common even before the coronavirus since they have a high level of pollution.

However

,

this

problem might be solved by encouraging the use of public transport.

Consequently

, if the government intervene and improves the quality of public means of transportation it is likely to increase the demand them.

Hence

, citizens will prefer not to spend low money on petrol but use buses

instead

.

For example

, in Ukraine,a government has significantly improved the quality of public transport and the number of private vehicles decreased by 5%. To conclude, the over-reliance on private cars could lead to a variety of problems related to the damage to the environment since a lot of emissions are produced.

Therefore
