Cities are becoming more and more congested and polluted as the number of private cars increases. What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a car?

Nowadays, cities are becoming increasingly polluted because there are more and more people who possess a

car

.

This

essay will present both the advantages and disadvantages of having a private

car

. The two main advantages of having a private

vehicle

are travelling fast and not wasting

time

on public transportation.

Firstly

, by owning a

car

, individuals can go anywhere in the shortest amount of

time

, without having to wait for the public transport

vehicle

to arrive.

Secondly

, when a person has their own automobile, they do not have to spend

time

to figure out ways in which they can reach a location.They have to just drive there , so they have the opportunity to save a lot of

time

.

For example

, in order for me to get to school I have two options: one, I can take public transport, and in

this

way, it takes me around 30 minutes, and two , I can drive until there, and in

this

way, it takes me less than 10 minutes.

That is

why having a personal

auto

vehicle

is crucial.

However

, possessing an

auto

vehicle

can

also

have some major disadvantages

such

as wasting money and

also

polluting the atmosphere. Starting with the economic part, when a person owns a

car

, they have to spend a big amount of their budget to buy fuel for that

car

and ,

additionally

, to check the health of that

auto

vehicle

. Continuing with the environmental problems, cars burn fuel and all that carbon dioxide is eliminated in the air, being a main source of air pollution.

For instance

, in bigger cities, where a lot of people have their own

auto

, the air is not clean and is a grey colour. In conclusion, having a personal

auto

can make people arrive fast wherever they want ,and can

also

save them a lot of

time

, but the price of the fuel and the environmental problems that they cause are some major disadvantages.
