FCE essay test - cars shold be banned from city centres? Major cities authorities have raised their voice to call for a regulation to prevent from pollution warnings; the solution that most likely will be taken is the ban of cars from the centres but, in my opinion, it’s a short term solution. Cities aren’t really ready to deal with an high volume of people going into centres to go to work, shopping or school without their own car because public transport hardly cover all the centre’s area and some of them aren’t available outside the city like the underground. I live in a town and use my car daily but if I had a work in a city, I would be in big troubles if I weren’t allowed to use my car or forced to find a place in a parking lot, because it would take me hours to go to work using public transports and because parking lot are expensive and would generate me an additional fee. In summary, I think that banning cars from centres of major cities would be a good idea in the future as long as cities will be prepared to offer valid alternatives to the use of private vehicles.
