Many a person postulates that cars are ideal mode of transport for cities, while others assert that bicycles should be preferred to travel. Cars are quick to keep the pace with the fast city lifestyle and can be used by more than one person to travel from one place to another, whereas bicycles are a healthy option. In my opinion, cars are most viable option to travel while living in a city.
There are multiple reasons, why proponents of cars favour the latter. Firstly, because cars are swift. In other words, keeping pace with the fast city life is a requisite to survive in suburbs, where denizens cannot afford to lose their time, travelling on slower mediums of transport. Secondly, cars are spacious and convenient. Which is to say that, cars can be used by more than one person to travel at any given time. Furthermore, not just people but bulkier items can also be transported from one place to another with ease on cars.
On the other hand, using bicycles as a mode of transport has numerous advantages. Such as, bicycles are a healthy way to commute. To expound, bicycles do not require any combustible fossil fuels for its working and is ridden by the physical force applied by its rider, hence keeping it from emitting noxious gases which are deleterious for human health as well as the whole environment. Finally, using bicycles for travelling is meritorious because it reduces traffic on the road. Which stands to reason that bicycles consume very less space on the road, its use has a mitigating effect on the traffic problem, which is surging every day in the cities, begetting road congestions.
In conclusion, it can be said that cars expedite the movement from one place to another and they can also be useful for more than one individual at the same time. Bicycles are healthy mode of transport, further benefitting by reducing the pollution. In my opinion, cars are conspicuously propitious in meeting the needs of transportation of an urban lifestyle.
