Governments should focus on building transportation infrastructure for bicycles rather than motor vehicles. To what extent do you agree?

To a large extent, I agree with the suggestion.

First

of all, constructing transportation infrastructures for bicycles could motivate the public to travel on their own

carbon

-free

vehicles

.

As a result

, it reduces

carbon

emissions. Nowadays, the government considers environmental protection as their major undertaking. It is to save our planet from global warming, a devastating result of increasing

carbon

dioxide emissions. Building roads and parking slots for bicycles encourages the public to use bikes, typically for the "

Last

Mile" journey. Compared to motor

vehicles

, it is more environmentally friendly.

For instance

, it echos the "

Carbon

Neutrality" approach raised by the Hong Kong government in recent years.

Secondly

, it saves space and helps the city grows green. In general, bicycle commuters need less space to drive their

vehicles

. They are happy to see the bicycle paths are covered by greenery too. It creates additional spaces for the municipal authority to plant

trees

.

In contrast

, it is often infeasible to plant

trees

near roads for motor

vehicles

. Motor

vehicles

are taller and wider. They are likely to crash on

trees

and cause undesirable damage. It helps to enhance the air quality and the respiratory health of residents living in the vicinity by planting more

trees

.

For instance

, the Hong Kong government is planning to build a new cycling track connecting Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun. Greenery measures would be taken in place surrounding the planned tracks. These

trees

are beneficial to the scenery and air quality. To conclude, I agree the authority should build more transportation infrastructure for bikes

instead

of fossil-driven cars. It helps to build a greener future by reducing

carbon

emissions.
