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.

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.

In my view, I am strongly convinced that enhancing public transportation would be a more effective method for reducing carbon dioxide emissions, a belief that coincides with Andrew's argument that people are more inclined to use public transportation when it is more convenient and accessible. I further contend that the expansion of public transportation is pivotal in reducing traffic congestion in urban areas. Smoother traffic flow results in fewer instances of vehicles idling, which is less fuel-efficient and leads to increased emissions. By diminishing congestion, public transportation aids in creating a more efficient and eco-friendly transport system.

While Claire emphasized that offering financial incentives to both electric-car manufacturers and consumers represents a superior long-term approach, particularly for those in rural areas dependent on personal vehicles, she overlooked the fact that electric vehicles (EVs) may not be the most viable option in all rural settings due to the scarcity of charging stations and the necessity for vehicles with longer driving ranges. Conversely, the development of efficient public transportation systems can serve a broader segment of the population, including those who might not have the means or the opportunity to effectively utilize electric vehicles.

In summary, I am firmly of the opinion that improving public transportation is a more effective strategy for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
