Example
SHOULD CARS BE BANNED FROM THE CITY ?
Cars should be banned from the city center at least in the biggest cities
because they bring on more problems than benefits. Pollution is the top one major
drawback, along with traffic jams and a relentless decrease in local commerce.
Firstly, it is widely known that cars are responsible for the highest levels of
carbon dioxide emissions, the most common greenhouse gas.
Secondly, public transportation should be the priority mean of commuting. Even
after the implementation of urban toll, London and São Paulo have reached peaks of
immobility in their centers in the last decades. London has fallen back on bicycle routes
and São Paulo has tried hard to work up subway and buses lines.
In addition to that, local commerce looses pedestrians and consequently sales
volume decreases. Local residents are forced to move out of the city center making the
area much more devaluated.
In some conditions, cars can be good for us if we want to go to a far
destination. But, in the other hand, cars become not good for human health caused by
the carbon dioxide emissions. What can we do now is, starting using public
transportation rather than private transportation. So, we have to know how to use cars
wisely for our life.
