Avoid use of private cars

Actually, most of the people in the country and in the world, use private cars for people to move around, whether it is for going home or going to work. People even use it to go to the market or to a friend's house! But as the government wants to reduce the use of cars, it is a great moment to apply these two new methods: investment and education to discourage the use of cars in the city center.

Investment on bike paths and a special road is one way. Bikes avoid environmental problems and they are much more economical than cars. Maintaining a car is also expensive. In addition, the bikes can help people to keep in shape. Another thing in which they can invest in is by public transport. They are cheap, practical and fast. Firstly, the government should improve quality and clean these public transports such as buses and trains. Secondly, if it is possible, build another lane for buses and thirdly, organise the service so that people don't drive themselves crazy.

An education campaign for future generations would be ideal because these people will be the ones who should get used to stopping using private cars. Maybe in the future, they will teach their own kids about how to move around. However, the government should put their part and act immediately so this fact doesn't extend more.

As a conclusion, private cars have almost more negative points than positive. In my opinion, this project may take time. Private cars are more comfortable but too expensive. Some people will get surprised of how effective these methods can be when they put it up in practice! Traffic jams would be avoided and people will move faster.
