Restricting the ownership of car, as one per family wil reduce the traffic
congestion and pollution. In my opinion this is the efficient way to improve the
quality of the air and the commutation.
Firstly dealing with issues around traffic congestion is best solved by curtailing
the number of cars plying in the roads. It may not be possible to decrease the
number of cars immediately but a step by step approach of introducing one car per
family will certainly improve the way we commute inside the city. At the moment, in
developed countries each member in a family has one car per head and this
definitely causes huge traffic congestion during the peak hours. This results in
blocking the movement of the critical vehicles such as ambulance and fire engines.
However by incorporating one car per person, we can ensure lesser number of cars
and better movement of the vehicles.
Another point to consider is that lesser number of vehicles ensures low carbon
emissions and a cleaner air. It has been estimated that 1 million people die
prematurely every year due to health issues caused by impure air. The primary
reason for this air pollution is because of the usage of the cars and the
subsequent intensity of carbon mono oxide and carbon di oxide released in to the
atmosphere. This certainly causes impure air and various health hazards to all
sorts of people starting from toddlers to elderly. Less usage of the cars by people
will decrease the impurities being distributed in air and thus preventing the
health issues. Furthermore, people will switch to healthy way of commuting such as
cycling and walking which could improve one’s health.
In conclusion, to deal with the traffic congestions and impure atmosphere,
implementing one car usage per family is the easiest and the efficient
