How can you convince drivers to consider using public transport?
Public transport is a more environmental friendly and easily arrangeable mode of transport. Here the drivers can be encouraged by raising their wages. Seeing opportunities to earn growing, they are encouraged to take up driving public transport. Moreover training can be provided to them low of cost. This will attract them to take driving public transport as their occupation without the worry of the problem of money.
Should all city and town centres be car free and why?
Car is subject to cause most of the pollution. A lot of cars on the road means more and more traffic! This leads to slow moving cars which ultimately leads to serious health hazards and toxic environment. If we imagine the same number of people using a car, using a public transport, pollution will reduce to a great extent and will not cause any type of health related probs. All city and town centres going car free is the need of the hour. Removing car from such populated areas will mean using public transport which is much more cost effective, environment friendly and way more healthy.
Should every community have a pool of cars for people to share? What are the potential problems with this?
Everything comes with its pros and cons, even choosing the healthier way it may not be so successful. Like the two sides of a coin it is important not to neglect the darker side. Having carpools for every community is an effective mode of public transport. And without questions, it should be taken into account but only after knowing its cons. Using such carpooling facilities may result in lack of personal opinions. Using carpools means to reflect the majority's opinions, here custom ideas of travelling may not be encouraged. This may eventually lead to lack of interest of people in taking a quick carpool because just for a certain person a car can't stop. It can sometimes be frustrating for the people who have a habit of taking a break or the other way around.
If your town was car-free, what would you do with the space that used to be used for cars?
A car free space would mean that there is no obstruction. Without the obstruction the places which could not be found will be rediscovered. The free space can be used for planting trees, which enhance the view of a place or even make it less harmful! It can be used to make buildings, offices, open to offer people to work! The free space can also be used to put on some designs or just leave it free! Anything can work when you have a free space to work, to view and to live! Without cars being parked everywhere it would be a less polluted, quieter and an amazing experience overall!
