Someone has rightly said - "The

car

has become an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete". It is irrefutable that many individuals are using their own

cars

instead

of travelling by buses and trains. In

this

essay, I shall discuss the reasons for

this

phenomenon and

also

Linking Words

suggest ways by which the government can motivate

people

to

use

public

transport

Use synonyms

. There are many reasons for the increasing popularity of

cars

Use synonyms

.

Firstly

Linking Words

, the

car

is the most convenient mode of

transport

Use synonyms

. It takes a person from destination to destination and one does not have to waste time waiting for public

transport

, which is time-bound.

Secondly

, families can go out together and enjoy their outings more. What is more, one can halt anywhere one needs some refreshments. The

car

is

also

a blessing in times of emergencies when a sick family member has to be rushed to the hospital.

Finally

, because of the increased competition among automobile companies,

cars

have become affordable for the vast majority of

people

.

For example

, the basic models of the Maruti 800 and the Nano by Tata Company are called the poor man's

cars

Use synonyms

. Many steps can be taken by the government to motivate

people

to

use

public

transport

.

Firstly

could be made better.

should be made aware of the problems,

is to make private

more expensive and inconvenient. The introduction of tolls along urban motorways has been successfully employed in many cities. Other

measures

help a lot. Faced with high costs or no place to park,
