In recent years, people have been heavily relying on cars or public transport as a type of transport. This, in my opinion, is mainly because of their unwillingness to do any physical activity. This issue can be solved by introducing specialised applications that motivate users and making driving less convenient.
As time goes, new technologies and modes of transport are being developed, transforming the way people live and travel. People qucikly become accustomed to using modes of transport that require minimal physical effort. By riding a bike, they can quickly become tired and sweaty, also its impractical for long-distance travel. For instance, after a busy day at work, many people would rather drive home than cycle, as driving allows them to travel a considerable distance more faster and without physical exertion. Moreover, cities are more designed to accommodate drivers, with extensive roar networks, parking areas and other facilities. In contrast, cyclists have limited to dedicated bike lanes and secure parking. As a result, people are more likely to use cars for daily journeys when they need travel long or carry heavy belongings.
Several measures could be introduced to reverse this trend. Firstly, governments or transport authorities could develop ann app that rewards people for using bicycles by offering discounts or financial rewards. For example, in South Korea there is a similar app that provides financial rewards based on the distance they walk and exchange them for discounts at shops, restaurants or other local businesses. This would encourage people to use bicycles more frequently, as they not would only benefit from physical activity but also receive rewards for their efforts.
In conclusion, the majority of people prefer using a car rather tahn putting a physical effort required to ride a bike. However, finding ways to motivate people, such as developing an app that offers rewards for cycling, could help to overcome this problem.
