“This week, we’ve discussed how carbon dioxide released by gasoline-powered (petrol-powered) cars pollutes the air and contributes to climate change. Let’s focus now on two proposals that governments can consider as they try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from cars. One proposal is to improve and expand public transportation. The other is to provide financial support to companies that make electric cars and to consumers who buy them. Which proposal do you think is better? Why?”

Claire: I think improving public transportation would be more beneficial overall than giving tax breaks or rebates to particular companies and consumers. If taking a train or a bus is significantly easier, cheaper, and faster than driving a car, more people will want to use public transportation. With fewer cars on the road, there will be less air pollution.

Paul: I believe that providing financial support to electric-car manufacturers and consumers is the better innovative long- term strategy. Many people live in rural areas, and they need their own vehicles to get around. These people would not benefit from, say, more train lines being built in a far-off city.

Ans: I ardently advocate for a heightened emphasis on improving public transportation to effectively combat the environmental challenges posed by increasing road traffic. Prioritising enhanced public transit addresses the root cause by significantly reducing the number of cars on the road, leading to a noteworthy decrease in carbon dioxide emissions. Public transit systems, efficiently accommodating more passengers per trip than individual cars, contribute to fewer vehicles and less traffic congestion.

This approach not only mitigates pollution but also fosters community connectivity and reduces commuting stress. While supporting electric cars carries merits, challenges like environmental impact during production and dependence on fossil fuel-derived electricity exist. A robust public transportation system emerges as a more impactful and inclusive strategy for immediate carbon emission reduction, serving the diverse needs of citizens while safeguarding our environment.
