The use of personal cars has increased more than ever before but this use of cars causes many problems. What are those problems? In order to reduce these problems, should we discourage people to use cars?

Problems

- Air pollution by releasing carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides--- Lung diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, allergy

- Noise pollution --- honking, vehicle engines

- Use of fossil fuels --- green house effect and global warming

- Increase in road accidents 

- Traffic congestion --- delay, wastage of time, affects productivity


Solutions

- Encourage people to use public transport by making it affordable, punctual, hygienic and secure. Eg: Luxembourg offers free public transportation. 

- Promote carpooling and shared taxi

- Increase tax on vehicles and fuel

- Limit automobile ownership
