Эссе: Bikes should be banned in the centre of big cities

Some say that private transport should be banned from big city central parts. Others argue that there is no reason for that.

I tend to agree with the former. Those city centres are usually not too big, so it is easy and not that time-consuming to get around them on foot. For the laziest people there will still be public transport and subways. Speaking of public transport, it will get much faster once private cars are gone, which is all the more reason to ban them from city centres, not to mention the amount of noise and air pollution they cause.

However, there are peoople that are fine with private transport in city centres. Their main reason is mostly the fact they are used to it and never considered a change, even if that means spending hours stuck in inevitable traffic jams or searching for a place to park their vehicle.

I cannot agree with them, though, since the fact they never considered a change does not make that change harmful. After all, how can they call something they never tried a bad idea? Especially when it seems reasonable in theory.

To conclude, I would like to say that banning cars from city centres at least for times they are most crowded would definitely be a positive change for the big cities and should be implemented by their governments, the sooner, the better.
