cars
possessed has been getting higher than before.
Although
it is creating many problems in society
such
as increasing
traffic

,
however
, it is more private and comfortable for long journeys. In

in a summary. Owning private conveyance has become a phenomenon, particularly in cities.
However
, the usage of personal vehicles has contributed to
traffic
congestion
. The population in cities is crowded and it worsens with each person using personal
cars
which surely will increase the
traffic
congestion
, even make it worse. The increase in
this
condition is associated with stress levels because individuals have to spend more time commuting because of getting stuck in
traffic
jams for more hours.
For example
, in Jakarta, to go to my office, I need to spend more than 2 hours by public transport because there is an elementary private school in which one student is transported using one car which causes heavy
traffic
congestion
.
On the other hand
, possessing private
cars
is
also
beneficial, particularly for
people
who want to drive on long journeys. It can shorten the time and it is more convenient.
For instance
, when I go to my hometown, it is more comfortable using my personal car than using public transportation like a bus. I can drive it and take a rest whenever I want. Most importantly, it becomes more private because it is only my family and I during the journeys, not others involved. In conclusion, the increase in possessing personal
cars
has positive and negative points from both views. We can not stop
people
from buying private conveyance,
instead
, to overcome the negative impacts
such
as
traffic
congestion
, the government should establish policies to encourage
people
to use public transportation more than private vehicles. The more
people
using public transportation, the more
traffic
congestion
can be curbed.
As a result
, the stress level will be decreased.
