In modern days, the usage of private vehicles are dramatically increased, traffic problems become one of the major problems in large busy cities, cities have came up with a beneficial solution : Vehicle-free days, which is a day where all private transportations are banned from the city center, indirectly encourgaing commuters to take public transportations such as buses, taxis and metro on that day.
To begin with, Vehicle free days offers two major benefits : Reduce traffic congestions while improving air quality in urban areas. First, banning all private vehicles from the city center can help traffic flow more smoothly, when most of the citizens switch to public transports, the cars that’s blocking the traffic were gone. Furthermore, with the numbers of vehicles significantly decreasing, the air pollution produced will dramatically decrease.
While this policy offers considerable benefits, commuters might also encounter incoveniences particularly during the peak hours, because majority of the population have switched to public transportation, this may lead to overcrowded situations. As a results, residents will have to wait longer for services or travel in uncomfortable circumstances.
