text: Saving money and reducing traffic are other advantages of limiting car usage. Traffic is always a problem when trying to get where you need to go. "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog...[The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world(Source 2)." There's always so many people rushing to get to work in the morning and your car only moves a couple feet per minute from all the backed up traffic but, if there wasn't so many cars on the road, that would never be an issue. Saving money is always an advantage especially in today's economy, and all you have to do is limit your car usage. "As of April 2013, the number of miles drive per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995(Source 4)." The reasoning behind that is because people "could not afford new cars, and and the unemployed weren't going to work anyway(Source 4)." Riding with a friend is always a way to save money and limit traffic too.
