You have already seen how the convenience of the automobile
has speed up passenger transport and the distribution of goods, and how
the automobile has become an indispensable part of our lives resulting in
the creation of the "Automobile Society."
Finding an alternative to a convenient and high volume form of transport
is quite a difficult task. The automobile is highly regarded for giving
the public its mobility and it is becoming the major form of transport for
most people.
However, there are many problems associated with the motor vehicle; environmental
problems, traffic accidents, and traffic congestion. There are also problems
in the city with illegal parking and bad drivers. There has been little
done to deal with the problems associated with driving. There is no doubt
that the automobile-society has a number of economic and personal benefits,
but we can no longer stand by and do nothing about the number of problems
the car has created.
The automobile itself is no threat to the way we live, instead it has improved
our lives, but the new transport system must be put in place if we want
to breakaway from the "Automobile Society." People need to be made aware
that in the "Automobile Society" we are at the same time directly or indirectly
the perpetrator and the victim of problems associated with the car. Here,
at the beginning of the 21st century we have a society that is made up of
individuals, and at the same time a "public" also exists. It follows that
the realization of the transport system being proposed here is one form
of the concept "public"
This idea we are proposing in the following report. |
