The number of

who own a personal four-wheeler has dramatically raised over the
last
Linking Words
3 decades owing to traffic congestion problems in many of the major cosmopolitans and metropolitans across the globe. In my personal view,
this
Linking Words
trend should take a downward turn before humans witness more frequent unprecedented consequences
due to
Linking Words
environmental pollution and the health hazards
this
Linking Words
could potentially lead to.
To begin
Linking Words
with, the change in the modern day lifestyle leading to excessive
usage

of cars by the public
that is
Linking Words
leading to less consumption of public transport even to smaller distances.
Consequently
Linking Words
, there have been a lot of CO2 emissions from these vehicles leading to air pollution which
further

causes detrimental health effects to
people

who are inhaling
this

oxygen which is polluted
along with

some hazardous gases.
For instance
Linking Words
, in New Delhi which is the most polluted city in the world, back in 2019, the air quality index had fallen down much below the minimum level because of which many

suffered from lung and heart diseases.
Therefore

, the lesser the pollution the better it is for the environment.
On the other hand

, it is quite challenging for any individual who possesses a personal car to stay away from using it for travelling. Owning is not a serious concern,

For example

, in the city of Mumbai, on a daily ,basis at least 4 million
people

use public transport to commute within the city,
whereas

, it is not the same case in other metro cities.
Although
Linking Words
these many individuals avail the government transport to commute, even
then
Linking Words
Mumbai is one of the top cities with traffic congestion issues. So, more and more
people

have to limit the
usage

of personal vehicles. In order to achieve that, the government must put strict regulations on the
usage

rather than the ownership of automobiles.
To conclude
Linking Words
, traffic authorities must enforce rules to impose heavy fines on individual automobile owners who travel alone with a lesser capacity in the cars and encourage them to take public buses or trains.
Additionally
Linking Words
, they should enrich the rules to control congestion issues.
