Some people think that cars should be banned from large cities. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

1Two common problems usually faced by a big city - traffic jam and air pollution, which are caused by many factors. 2However, most people tend to blame a large number of private cars as the greatest contributing factor which leads to the some people’s opinion claiming that the cars must be prohibited in the town. Although this statement seems plausible, I totally disagree that this kind of vehicle should be banned from the metropolis.

The cars are not only 3beneficial to individual citizensbeneficial for the citizen as a user but also 4to the state by increasing its revenuefor the state, in increasing its income. If the 5use of cars in a large cityexistence of the cars in the large city is forbidden by the government, 6there will be no car tradethere will not be car trade in that town which consequently will reduce total sales of cars nationwide. This finally will 7decrease the nation's earningsdecrease nation's earning because car companies will 8reducedrop their production for that country and the tax revenue 9from car salesfrom the car sales will diminish automatically. Furthermore, this will also reduce annual car-tax revenue 10which is a main source of income for some countriesin which for some countries, this kind of tax is their main earning source.

12Moreover, this will cause another problemOn the other hand, this will cause another problem, for the car owners in particular, 13that the government would need to addressin which the government should be involved to overcome this problem. By banning the use of cars in the big city, cars owned by the city inhabitants 14will become unusablewill be useless and eventually they must sell their cars 15to avoid financial lossbecause this can harm them financially. If we look at the 16large numberlarge total number of 17cars that must be soldcars must be sold and the fact that the owners do not want to sell their cars at a lower price, this might be 18a difficult problem to solvea difficult problem to be solved.

Finally, a huge budget must be allocated to 19improve alternative transportimprove the alternative vehicles in the city and many countries will not be able to eventually do it successfully. The car is considered as one of the most useful inventions ever and banning them is not a pragmatic solution. We should rather take alternative initiatives to reduce the traffic jam and air pollution in big cities.

Personally, I strongly believe that 20prohibiting people from drivingprohibiting people to drive cars in big cities will generate some problems both for the state and the owners. Even though the cars contribute to the occurrence of traffic jam and air pollution in some cities, 21there must be other waysit must be the other ways to combat those problems without banning the existence of cars, such as creating underground transportation and green energies as a car fuel.
