Some people claim that there are more disadvantages of the car than its advantages. Do you agree or disagree?

A wide range of people believes that having a

car

has more cons than pros. I will discuss these points of view with arguments in the following paragraphs. From my point of view, having a

car

is convenient and has a lot of benefits, much more than downsides. First of all, a

car

gives freedom of movement in most parts of the world and frequently is the only available kind of

transport

.

Secondly

, the

car

is the cheapest kind of

transport

and doesn’t need a big infrastructure to use.

For example

, in rural areas where non-cost-effective to build a railway or another public

transport

, the

car

is the most popular way of transporting people and different stuff. Of course, cars

also

have cons and the main of them is the exhausts of fuel burnable. It influences the health of people who live in big

cities

and could be the reason for many illnesses. Another one is parking in big

cities

, especially in old

cities

with old infrastructure where unreal to build a lot of parking places.

Moreover

, if the city doesn’t have convenient public

transport

, using cars usually provokes traffic jams.

For instance

, in my home city Krasnoyarsk, there is no underground or tram, only the buses, and citizens prefer to have their own

car

because it is more comfortable to stay in a traffic jam in a

car

than in a public bus. In conclusion, I would say that the pros or cons of cars depend on the area of living. In

cities

with developing infrastructure and public

transport

is no need to have a

car

, but far from the

cities

car

is the most popular option.
