Some people think that cars should be banned from city centers to reduce pollution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is a dramatic growth in the number of people having their own private vehicles. Due to the increased wages, economic prosperity and depletion in car prices, people are more likely to afford vehicles but it has led to various serious problems like a polluted environment, traffic jams and various health issues. Keeping these reasons in mind I think there should be limitations on owning private vehicles rather than completely banning them.
