Nowadays, there are so many problems regarding cars. It is very often to go to the work very late because of bothersome traffic jams everyday especially in a large city. Therefore, some people says that public transportation is better than individual vihicles. As the number of people with this thought become more and more, there are many controversies over whether the cost of public transportation should be free or not. Although some believe that it is impossible to make that price free, however I think that it is effective as well as possible. First of all, if people don't pay for using the public transportation, there will exist less vehicles in the roads. Also, it will prevent air pollution. Last of all, there are enough alternatives which cover the price of the public transportation.
First of all, thanks to the free cost of transportation, people will be reluctant to drive their own cars. Recently, the price of gas is increasing rapidly due to the lack of fossil fuel. Naturally, it becomes more burdensome for public to pay the cost of gas regularly. Actually, my mother often complain that the price of gas increases too often, so she can not afford it. Also, she often says that it is better to take city buses or subway than using individual vehicles. As you can see this, you will be able to realize that if the cost of the public transportation goes down, people will take buses and subway to go to their work places or schools instead of their own cars. Obviously, it will be helpful to lesson the congestion which occurs in every rush hours on a daily basis and make people feel stress from the concern that they will not reach their destination on time. In this sense, making free the cost of the public transportation will be beneficial in aspect of traffic jams.
Sencondly, it will also be an advantange when we think of the environment. Nowaday's environment are being destroyed by human beings. Especially, when it comes to the air, the cars are the main reason of the pollution. So various kinds of air pollutants are emitted from the vihicles such as CO2, SO4, and CO which is fatal to our health. One recent research paper announces that, if the number of vehicles decreased in 50%, our nature will recover 30 times faster than now. Then, reducing the price of the public transportation will be very helpful to recover our surrounding. This is because, public transportation can replace so many cars and the air pollutants which is emitted by the vihicles will lesson very much. This is where the need for the reduction of the public transportation cost comes.
Last of all, many people think if the cost of the public transportation become free, the government will not able to cover the loss of income. However I think there are enough alternatives of that. One of it is to increasing tax. For sure, there will be some complaints according to heighten the tax, but it will be effective to lesson the number of vehicles either. Furthermore it will be a good way to cover the loss of those type of government's income.
To sum up, making the public transportation's price free is possible enough and it has many benefits as I mentioned above. We can decrease traffic congestion as well as the number of cars, and also can decrease the air pollution. |
