more and more people are relaying private car as their major means of transportation. Describe some of the problems over-reliance on cars and suggest at least possible solution.
Private cabs as modes of transportation are trending as the vast majority of the
people
are using extensively in daily life to commute to work or personal destination. The problem with over-reliance on cars
is high fuel prices as well as traffic
congestion on the road. To overcome this
difficulty we can encourage individuals to use
public transport
and commute less in private cars
.
The main problem of the private car
is the maintenance and fuel cost of the vehicle which makes the journey costlier than the public transport
fare. Apart from this
, since more people
are using the personal car
the traffic
congestion has been increased in a few busy streets. In the peak office ,hours an individual spends a minimum of 2 hours in traffic
if he is living far from the workplace. To illustrate, petrol prices have reached 100 rupees/litre in India whereas an average car
gives 15 to 17-kilometre mileage which makes the travel more expensive than the state bus or metro
rates furthermore
, metropolitan cities are combating huge traffic
in-office hours due to the increased usage of a personal car
. Therefore
, relying on the private car
gives the demerit of expensive travel costs and huge time-wasting in traffic
.
To resolve this
issue the government should encourage people
to use
more state transportation and build transport
facilities near the giant corporate hubs. The legislative authorities should advertise and reduce metro
and train ticket prices to attract professionals to use
them more frequent moreover
, people
use
private cars
due to the lack of public transportation available nearby workplaces. By building a metro
,train or increase bus facilities on the office routes this
issue can be solved. For example
, the Delhi government of India has expanded the Metro
route to all nearby IT hubs so people
can use
more public transport
and fewer personal cars
. Thus
, the government must increase the transport
facilities to overcome this
difficulty.
To conclude, only when the public transport
system has become flexible and available on all possible routes the over usages of personal vehicles can be reduced.Submitted by priyanka.bbc on
