More and more people use private cars instead of taking public transport . What are the reasons for this thread? How can the government encourage people to take public transport?

Humans as we are we go places all the
time
. We go to work, school, the market etc. In order to move from
one
place to another, there is the need to use various means of
transport
such
as bus train and
cars
. The commonest among these is
cars
. Many
people
prefer using their own
cars
as compared to
cars
owned by others and serving as a source of livelihood. So many reasons account for
this
. In
this
essay, I will outline some of these reasons and ways the authorities can make commercial
transports

Firstly
,
people
prefer using their own
cars
to travel because they are assured of their own safety since they believe their car is in good shape and they are in their right minds themselves. Unlike public
transport
where
one
does not know the condition of the
cars
or person behind the wheels.

Drivers
of commercial
cars
usually make unnecessary stops with passengers on board.
For example
, a driver will now stop on the
way
to buy fuel, inflate a tyre or even change a punctured tyre. All these activities

. Others
also
make inappropriate stops to carry pedestrians who want to board. Authorities may want to encourage
people
to choose public
transport
rather than their private
cars
maybe as a
way
of reducing traffic and congestion.
This
can be done by education. Educating
drivers
on road signs and the need to frequently service their
cars
is a sure
way
. When

of making the use of public vehicles popular.
