Some cities have vehicle-free days when private cars, trucks and motorcycles are banned from the city center. People are encouraged to use public transportation such as buses, taxis and metro on vehicle-free days. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, some

cities

are applying vehicle-free campaigns to make private

transport

users

such

as automobiles, lorries and motorbikes drivers use their public

transport

systems. With them, it is intended to reduce

pollution

produced from these

cities

.

By contrast

, these schemes generate dependence on these public

transport

systems. In my opinion, the developed dependence is overwhelmed by the current

pollution

problem. On the one hand, during the

first

year of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were a series of

restrictions

that reduced the usage of personal vehicles worldwide, resulting in a significant

pollution

reduction, being evidenced concretely in larger

cities

. Ignoring the pandemic circumstances, these

restrictions

showed the possibility of using alternative mobility options, encouraging new

restrictions

in Madrid and Barcelona, that hardened their mobility

restrictions

.

Consequently

, 2021 was the less contaminating year in the

last

decade for the mentioned

cities

.

On the other hand

, restricting mobility towards a public

transport

scheme could not work for smaller

cities

For example

, in Murcia, public

transport

is less accurate and has limited disponibility, increasing traffic congestion over peak hours, reducing its functionality.

Additionally

, the mented campaigns are only contemplated on densely populated urban cores, ignoring towns and contriesides' necessities. To conclude, these campaigns are useful to reduce harmful

in an unproductive position. I think that even whit these problems, reducing

overweight their disadvantages, minding the necessity of being as ecological as possible.
