More and more people in developing countries are purchasing cars for the first time. What problems does this cause? What do you think is a possible solution?

The

number

of

car

owners in developing countries is increasing. The principal problems

this

causes are pollution and

traffic

congestion, and the most viable solution is to improve public transportation. The primary issue developing countries face when their citizens start to buy

cars

is increased pollution.

This

occurs

as a result

of petrol consumption, which produces hazardous gases, by

cars

and

this

pollutes the air which

people

breathe. The greater

number

of vehicles on the road is

also

responsible for a rise in

traffic

jams.

This

is because many tend to commute by

car

and that increases the

number

of

cars

specified for the road which results in bottleneck.

For example

, in the US, exports say

traffic

increased by 70% in cities within a decade. A solution to these problems is to make better public transportation, so,

people

start to switch to electrobuses and trains to commute to their work.

This

would solve the problems by reducing the

number

of

cars

on the streets and harmful gases in the air.

For example

, if

people

spend less time going to work by bus or train compared to

cars

, they will be less likely to use their

car

since the

car

would cost them precious time

as well as

extra money for fuel.

Therefore

, there would be not many

cars

on the roads, so, less

traffic

. In conclusion, the increasing

number

of vehicles would cause pollution and

traffic

jams and the solution to

this

would be improving public commuting transport which indirectly forces

people

to use their

cars

less.
