Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past 30 years that many cities in the world are now 'one big traffic jam'. More people should use public transport. Do you agree or disagree?
Around the world, as well as in my city, people are spending more time stuck in the traffic than they were a few decades ago. I think that the popular adoption of public transport is necessary if cities have to function efficiently.
Undoubtedly having a private car has its benefits. Most important of them all is the extreme convenience it provides, especially to the families with kids. For instance, most of the commercial centers where I go from my home are at least 10-15 minutes walk from the nearest bus stops. This means that every time I am traveling with my wife and 2 kids, I have to be very careful with kids crossing the road.
Nevertheless, the benefits of using public transport far outweigh those of private cars. For instance, public transport makes efficient use of road capacity. A normal bus takes as much road space as 3 cars, but it can have 50-60 people traveling in that space as compared to 4-6 people traveling in private cars. One of the major roads in my city center has gotten a new metro bus lane that is exclusive to only busses. According to recent statistics, 5 times more people travel through that one lane as compared to the other 2 car lanes combined.
Furthermore, public transport is a safer mode of transport for both passengers as well as road users. Since drivers of public buses are employes and trained, they take their job professionally and drive within the speed limits and lanes. In my city, people are even afraid to walk or cycle even for short distance because occasionally car drivers end up driving very close to the sidelines in order to break free of traffic.
In conclusion, traffic jams are increasingly creating problems for the city. Usage of public transport would not only make cities safer and more efficient, it would also benefit the environment by reducing air pollution.
