 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 9
to know how to use cars wisely for our life.
