ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE SOLVED, PUBLIC TRANSPORT ON THE SPOT

Every single day everyone has to leave home and get to some other places such as work, school or college. Modern cities population are mostly car reliant, due to this, going by car is always the first choice, although it is faster and more comfortable, it has a huge impact upon the environment, therefore, public transport has an enormous importance in present-day cities.

          Recent statistics have shown that on average 10 to 20 cars are sold every day in developing countries. Although it may mean that a country economy is rising it also leads to a great drawback such us road management since most of the cities are poorly structured to contain heavy traffic flows, in the same way, there is another important issue that a car use increase leads to, that is, excessive pollution levels which affect human beings not only by causing physical disabilities but also psychological and behavioural disorders.

          Consequently, parking dearth, in fact, is something completely predictable within these cities that are not correctly prepared to face the needs this extremely car reliant population carries out. Accidents are the most noticeable effect about this concern, however, not the only one, and difficulties as regard traffic control are rife. Besides, it is important to mention the influence all these factors have into people moods leading to prevalent arguments among citizens and government officers.

          For that reason, most governments have set higher taxes on car using as a measure aimed to regulate this environmental harmful habit. Hence, more and more people are changing their routines and choosing the use of public transport as a healthy and environmental friendly alternative to cars. This clearly has lowered the inclination of people on using their own cars and created and environmental awareness about the damage pollution causes.

          In the final analysis, public transport has become a reliable substitute for cars in most of cities which have created this sort of environmental conscience among their citizens who cares more about keeping an eye on how harmful to the environment is the indiscriminate use of cars and, despite not being so faster and comfortable, nowadays choose going to anywhere by train or bus.
