use
in order to go anywhere has increased. Some adults believe that

pollution so using them would help protect the environment.
Furthermore
, they are a great idea if you want to avoid traffic since they have a special road they can go on, while
cars
are all stuck on the main road.
For example

this
is the case with trams in cities like Milan or Rome, where they can easily avoid the
cars

I do. In fact, here there are just a few buses and trains, and they don't work really well so having a car is definitely a benefit.
However
, if you live in a big city, public transit works better, there are more rides, and is
also
helpful for the environment. In conclusion, there are contrasting ideas on what type of transportation to utilize,
however
, I believe that each person has a right to choose based on where he or she lives, and how well connected their town is to other places.
