In developing nations, an increasing number of men and women are buying automobiles for the first time. Escalated global warming situation and traffic congestion are the primary problems related to the issue; however, a better public transport network and increased car taxes are the most viable solutions to alleviate the predicaments.
One problem associated with the issue is the exacerbated global warming problem. That is to say, the proportion of carbon is augmented by automobiles because most of them use internal combustion engines that dismantle carbon from fuel, and export it into the atmosphere, and the heat increases due to the disrupted carbon balance in the air. Another problem is a less bearable traffic layout. This is because developing countries usually have poor road infrastructures, and therefore if the number of vehicles in traffic increases, the limited usable space on roads is divided by more cars, and inevitably, a severe traffic problem will arise. Istanbul is the principal example of this, where people from all walks of life spend a significant amount of time stuck in traffic every day due to the boomed car numbers.
Increased duties to cars is one of the remedies to address those problems. In other words, increased tax rates would discourage many people from possessing a car because in developing nations, many individuals get by on middle or low income, and therefore, they should painstakingly spend their money. Another solution is more advanced public transportation facilities. Many people are reluctant to use public transportation because of their poor conditions. Thus, if authorities improve public transportation networks, people become more eager to use them over their cars. For example, in Ankara, substantial growth has occurred in the number of people who use public transportation because the quantity and quality of public transportation vehicles have improved.
In conclusion, the frenzy of having cars results in an increase in the average temperature of our planet and serious traffic circumstances, but if car taxes go up and states offer better public transportation to people, these situations can be overcome.
