Some cities have vehicle-free days when private cars, trucks and motorcycle are banned from the city centre. People are encouraged to use public transport such as buses, taxies and metro on vehicle-free day. To what extent do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

In

this

current era of urbanization, many cities follow certain rules about

traffic

control

such

as private vehicles are prohibited on some days and public transports are promoted. I am totally agreed with the aforesaid notion and I

also

believe that it is more beneficial because it helps to alleviate pollution as well as

traffic

congestion.

This

essay will elaborate on the same in the upcoming paragraphs. To commence with, the

first

and foremost important benefit of using public transport by commuters is the protection of the environment and

this

happens indirectly due to less carbon emission as a smaller number of vehicles run on the road. To exemplify, the report published by the Pollution Control Buro, New Delhi, on 20th June 2020, reveals that the implementation of the rule of banning private cars for 3 days a week resulted in a 60% reduction of carbon emission in the air.

As a result

, a healthy breathable environment was available for citizen.

Moreover

, the reduction of lung infections was

also

noticed.

Secondly

, as everyone is nowadays using own car for commuting the roads are usually full and creates a huge

traffic

jam.

This

situation is extremely disturbing for emergency situations like shifting ICU patients or providing a fire control team. In my neighbourhood, one lady gave birth to a baby in the ambulance itself as the ambulance was excruciatingly painful for her as they were stuck in the huge

traffic

congestion for almost one hour.

This

means it is incredibly beneficial to have a congestion-free commute.

On the other hand

, people may find using public transport inconvenient, time-consuming and tedious but these problems can be addressed by increasing the frequency and quality of public buses and metros. In conclusion, it is obvious that using public transport is incredibly useful as

this

can provide us safe and healthy environment.

In addition

to that, it is

also

has a great impact on controlling

traffic

congestion.
