Question

• What all can vehicles run on?

• What kinds of problems will we face, if the number of vehicles keeps on increasing? For example, more traffic on the road. Talk to your elders and write about it.

• Manju said, “Why doesn't everyone use a bus?” What do you think, why don’t people travel by buses?

• Suggest some ways to deal with the problems arising out of the growing number of vehicles.

Answer 1

• Vehicles can run on diesel, petrol, coal, CNG, electricity, etc.

• If the number of vehicles keeps on increasing we would not get space to move on the road. There would be more traffic jam on the road and everyone would run late for work. There would be more smoke coming out of the vehicles and then we would suffer from more breathing problems. There would be noise pollution all around.

• People do not travel by buses for their own convenience. People love to travel in their own vehicles to save their time.

• Some ways to deal with the problems arising out of the growing number of vehicles are:

  (i) We should avoid using private vehicles for traveling. Rather we should try to travel by bus.

  (ii) If possible, we can live near our working place to reduce the need of moving out in vehicles.
