Nowadays the big cities from all around the world propose to forbid the cars in the city center, but is it a good idea?

Firstly, we should talk about the public transport. If we ban the cars, then all the drivers should start to use it. However, these days the public buses or the tube is not a good example of efficiency. Indeed, the increment of the passenger number would increase the problems of punctuality. Concerning the price of the ticket, the general view is that it is really expensive and probably, many people couldn’t afford it and they preferred to use their own car.

 On the other hand, the pollution is becoming a health problem in these places. The large amount of vehicles generates a permanent CO2 cloud in the sky, which affects the environment and the inhabitants. Another point in favor is that if we banned the cars, the traffic jams would disappear. As a result we would obtain an improvement on the buses service, with less delays and an increment of the frequencies would be established.

To conclude, we can say that although this measure would be hard for the drivers, there is no doubt about the benefits that it would provide.
