Cars are used for They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to parts of the city, they have to drive in order to their products.
Farmers have to drive into the city in order to shop for necessities.
Sometimes, small children must be driven to . In some cities, school buses are used only when children more than a mile from the school. When the children are too to walk that far, their parents take driving them to school. One drives on Mondays, taking her children and the neighbors' children as well.
Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays and so on. This is forming a car pool (拼车).
Working people also form car pools, with three or four people taking turns driving to the place they work.
More car pools should be formed in order to put cars on the road and to use less oil. is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something should be done about the use of cars.
