Should cars be banned from city centres?

1 Where would we be without cars? They help us a great deal, but some people are calling for their banning from city centres. To judge whether this is a good idea, we should examine three areas: convenience, safety and pollution.

2 First of all, we will look at convenience. Cars are usually considered the most convenient form of transport in the city. This is because you do not have to walk anywhere or wait for public transport. However, if city centres were empty of cars, other kinds of transport would improve. For example, cycling would be easier and buses would move faster.

3 Secondly, there is the question of safety. Many people are hurt by cars every year, whether drivers, passengers or pedestrians. There is no doubt that banning cars from city centres would end that completely. There would be new dangers, though. For example, accidents between cyclists and pedestrians would probably increase.

4 Finally, pollution needs to be discussed. On the one hand, banning cars would certainly reduce the air and noise pollution in the city centre. On the other hand, electric cars produce neither exhaust fumes nor noise, so it seems unfair to ban them along with petrol and diesel cars.

5 All in all, banning cars from city centres has both pros and cons in terms of how easy, safe and clean it would make our lives. I believe we should try it out in one or two cities first, to see if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
