Some people claim that there are more disadvantages of the car than its advantages. Do you agree or disagree? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having a car.

Although

having a

car

is more comfortable and

time

-saving, it

also

has disadvantages of affecting the environment.

This

essay will discuss

people

owning and travelling with a private

car

making them convenient and cut down on travelling

time

, but it

also

caused pollutions and traffic jams. Whilst acknowledging there are advantages of travelling via a private

car

, the essay will argue that the disadvantages of travelling with private cars outweigh the advantages. The main advantage of having a

car

is convenience and freedom of travel. When owning a

car

you do not need to worry about the public transportation's schedule and lengthy waiting

time

of the public bus/train arrivals. It

also

cut down on the travelling

time

and inconvenience of planning the routes.

Moreover

, travelling in a

car

is more comfortable that you are able to have a private journey with your family and children unlike the public transport to share with other strangers.

For example

, in some emergency cases

such

as health issues which happened at midnight or remote area that public transportations are unable to reach and, which requires immediate medical attention from the healthcare professional, owning a

car

is much more flexible and lifesaving to transfer the patient to the hospital. So, most of the

people

trying to buy their own cars

instead

of taking public transportations.

On the other hand

, more and more

people

owning a

car

not only caused the problem of traffic jams but

also

caused pollutions to the environment. And that leads to huge damage to human health and all living beings on earth.

For example

, due to ,pollutions climate changes happened and icebergs are disappearing caused the polar bear's difficulty to survive. And more private cars on roads caused traffic congestion made all public and private transports commuters require to wait a certain amount of

time

and delay their journey due to the problem.

Moreover

, the cost of buying and maintaining a private

car

needs to spend a large amount of money

such

as paying tax,

car

park fees and fuel, etc. So, those are the serious problems caused by owning a

car

, and we need to consider reducing it and promote to use of public transportations. In conclusion, the government should set up public transportation to be more flexible, accessible, safe and efficient and promote

people

to take public transport than buying a

car
