Some people think that cars should be banned from large cities. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

As the global population has increased significantly, so has the number of the automobile on our roads.

This

dramatic rise has led to the suggestion that large urban areas should prohibit private

. I firmly believe that the implementation of

such

a policy would have disastrous consequences for two main reasons which I will explore in

further

detail in

this

essay. Banning

cars

from the

city

centre of a number of large urban areas will eventually cause additional problems

due to

insufficient infrastructure. As tens of thousands of commuters who previously relied on using their own

cars

will suddenly be required to find alternative methods of transport to enter the

city

, existing public transport facilities and infrastructure will be overwhelmed. In the case of commuter trains,

for example

, simply adding extra services will not work if the train stations cannot cope with these new commuters,especially as most of them need to enter and exit the

Therefore

, abruptly banning

cars

without additional investment in other services is a recipe for disaster. There will

also

be devastating economic consequences as many

businesses

in the heart of the

city

rely on private vehicles to deliver supplies on a daily basis. Without

this

form of transportation, these

businesses

will not be able to conduct their day-to-day operations. It would be particularly challenging for restaurants and florists who require fresh produce and flowers to be delivered every day.

While

a ban on private

cars

may improve traffic and lower pollution, it is

also

likely to cause

businesses

to fail and increase unemployment. In conclusion, despite the rise in ownership of private vehicles and the resulting urban issues, banning these vehicles is not a viable option. Doing so would mean that public transport services would not be able to cope with the higher demand and many companies relying on the use of private
