• In our lives, we travel from one place to another for a great variety of reasons and
while travelling we greatly depend on cars, whether it is a private car or a public bus.
The number of car owners is increasing every day because every person expects the
freedom to travel and comfort while travelling and that is why most of us want to own
a four wheeler. However, owning one has many advantages and disadvantages as well.
• A private vehicle is a convenient mode of transportation. Having more comfortable
seats, ventilation or other novel technologies help people to feel better than using
other methods, like a bicycle or a public bus. Also, when travelling by a four wheeler,
users have more secure privacy compared to using public transportation. For example,
as per a survey conducted in a tier 2 city of India, most people preferred to use their
own car as it made them feel safe about themselves and their belongings.
• However, owning an automobile is expensive and requires additional costs to maintain
and repair it. Not all families can afford it. Cars have increased the level of air and
noise pollution in cities, causing more humans to suffer from respiratory, heart
diseases, or cancers. The excessive use of such vehicles to commute has decreased the
average health of their users as they do not need to do any physical movement. It is
undeniable that the increase in patients suffering from issues with breathing can be
owed to increase in the number of vehicles on road.
• To sum up, having a car gives someone freedom but if public transportation system is
easily accessible, safe and efficient, then the idea of buying and owning itshould be
abandoned.
