I fully agree that if need of travel is reduced volume of
traffic can also be reduced in cities. In this essay I shall elaborate the
reasons for high volume of traffic and measures of mitigation.
For going to school
or college, attending office or business, shopping or socializing and numerous
daily activities people are dependent on automobiles. Automobiles are used in
the shape of a car, scooter or motorbike depending upon individual’s need,
nature of work and affordability. While the life has become very fast and time
is extremely scarce people have to cope with the work or the business and keep
pace with time with the help of automobile.
Indeed The invention
and proliferation of the automobile has improved the human lives considerably.
In modern days, complete transportation of men and material is carried out with
the help of automobiles. An automobile in the modern era is not luxury, but a
necessity rather.
The need can surely
be controlled. There has to be a strong will to do that. The following are the
suggestions for minimizing the need of automobile.
- · Make use of common public transport like train and bus.
- · Use required type and size of car. Don’t use too big a car as a status symbol.
- ·
People
from same organization, institution and company can adopt car sharing system or
pooling. Similarly students from same school and college can also adopt car
pooling system.
- · In conclusion Use car only in dire need. Try to use internet wherever possible for shopping, ticket booking etc and avoid visits. This will greatly help minimizing the volume of traffic, pollution, and global warming.
