David Shipler, dependent on the car and working, briefly stated that within "poor people" lack of access to the car is one of the factors making it difficult to find work. Because car ownership is so high, people who need work may not be able to buy a car, but may need a car for city expansion and insufficient public transportation Hmm. However, the burden on car ownership is so serious, the expansion of public transit agencies and cities that received subsidies is the cause of this burden.

Mass transportation has many advantages over private cars. In many parts of the world, mass transit is an important part of the nationwide transportation system. If people are too poor to buy a car, they will rely on bicycles and animals, or public transport (such as bus routes) to travel throughout the city and the city. Mass transportation agencies such as buses, trains, and planes move people more efficiently than private cars. For example, the subway system can transport 80,000 passengers per hour. By contrast, on an 8-lane highway you can only transport 20,000 passengers per hour. The cost of traveling between inter-city bus lines is usually about two cents per mile, which is about one-tenth of the same average for private cars.

Because car ownership is so high, people who need work may not be able to buy a car, but may need a car for city expansion and insufficient public transportation Hmm. - Urban expansion and automobile city expansion are common problems affecting land use, transportation, socio-economic development, and most importantly our health. Unplanned development threatens our health, the environment and quality of life. The spread is due to many causes such as asthma and global warming, floods and erosion, extinction of wildlife, and most importantly public health such as social isolation and obesity.

There are several levels of dependence on cars, from lowlands to highlands, including alternative land use patterns and liquidity alternatives. The most relevant indicators of car dependency are car ownership level, car mileage per capita, percentage of commuting trips using cars, and so on. If you use a car more than three-quarters of a commuter trip, the reliance on cars will be high. In the United States, this ratio remains about 88% for decades. The dependence of automobiles is also driven by cultural and commercial systems as a symbol of status and personal freedom through the temptation to advertise and purchase new cars. Naturally, many developing countries believe that electrification is a condition of development.
