It is obvious that traffic is a major problem in our cities today, but there are endless arguments about the solutions. Some people put forward the argument that banning private transport would make the city centre much safer. What is your opinion on this? Are you for or against the argument? Write an argument letter in about 100 words to express your opinion.

You may use the following words and expressions in your writing.

 

I am for / against the idea of…

In my opinion…

One solution would be

On one hand

On the other hand

To sum up

I am against the idea of banning private transport from the city centre.

Banning private transport and allowing only public transport would be highly inconvenient for many people. As far as I can see, one solution would be to allow cars into the city centre on alternate days. On the other hand, creating more car parks just outside the city centre and providing free buses, or charging cares to drive into the centre may be better solutions . Many people might choose to take public transport because it is cheaper. In that way, the city authorities could also make some extra money.

To sum up, a complete ban on private traffic in the city may not be practical, however desirable it is. I am in favour of creating more car parks just outside the city centre and charging cars that go into it.
