The rising levels of congestion and air pollution found in most of the world citie can be attributed directly to the rapidly increasing number of private cars in use. In order to reverse this decline in quality of life in cities, attempts must be made to encourage people to use their cars less and public transport more. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Furthermore

thus

if the responsibility isn't taken and

continue to attribute to congestion, the problem is soon to be spread to rural areas as well. I would like to conclude by saying that getting rid of

in the urban areas is indispensable, were we to sustain the
