Kungani ushintsho lwamabhayisikili nokuhamba e-UK lungehlisi ukuhamba kwezimoto

UNdunankulu wase-UK, uBoris Johnson, wethule u- £ 2 billion ukwenza amakhulukhulu amamayela imizila yamabhayisikili evikelwe nendawo yabahamba ngezinyawo. Kunezizathu eziningi ezinhle zokukhuthaza ukuhambahamba nokuhamba ngebhayisikili — uhambo olunamandla, ngoba lwaziwa njenge. Ubhadane ludinga ukuqheliswa komphakathi kwezithuthi zomphakathi, okuphakamisa ukuthi amabhasi nezitimela kumele kugibele abagibeli abambalwa ohambweni ngalunye. Ukuhamba ngebhayisikili nokuhambahamba kuyizinketho ezinempilo kakhulu futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ngayinye inento yokudlala kuyo ukusika ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni kusukela ohlelweni lwezokuthutha, ngaphezu kokuthuthukisa umoya wasedolobheni ikhwalithi ephezulu.

Amadolobha kulo lonke elase-UK athengisa ngomfutho travel ukuphendula ubhadane. IManchester inikele ngama- £ 5 million ukuvumela ukuqhela kwezenhlalo ukuhamba ngebhayisikili nokuhamba ngezinyawo emizileni emisha. USadiq Khan, imeya yamanje yaseLondon, unakho Isikhala somgwaqo esabiwe kabusha kubahamba ngezinyawo nabagibeli bamabhayisikili ukunweba ukuhamba izikhathi ezinhlanu nokuhamba ngebhayisikili kayishumi.

Ukuthuthuka ngokuphindwe kayishumi ngebhayisikili kungathatha isabelo samanje esingu-2.5% sohambo olwenziwe ngamabhayisikili eLondon kuze kufike ezingeni Copenhagen, okumanje iku-28%. Inhlokodolobha yaseDenmark ibe nengqalasizinda ekhazimulayo yokuhamba ngamabhayisikili isikhashana kanye nesiko elide lokuhamba ngebhayisikili.

Kodwa-ke ama-32% ohambo eCopenhagen lungezezimoto, okungaphansi nje kuka-35% waseLondon. Ngaphandle kokuhamba ngebhayisikili, umehluko omkhulu ohlukile ezokuthutha zomphakathi ukusetshenziswa, okubalwa ngama-19% ohambo eCopenhagen kuqhathaniswa 36% eLondon.

Konke lokhu kusho ukuthi siyakwazi ukususa abantu emabhasini sibagibelise emabhayisikili, ashibhile, aphilile ngokwengeziwe, aphakeme ngokwendawo ezungezile, futhi angahambi kancane emigwaqweni eminyene yedolobha. Kodwa-ke kunzima kakhulu ukukhipha abantu ezimotweni zabo, naseCopenhagen lapho wonke umuntu enekhono lokuhamba ngebhayisikili elivikelwe.

Ukukhanga kohambo lwezimoto

Abantu abafana nezimoto ngenxa yokuthi bazothwala abagibeli abaningi ngokumane bavame ukuhlinzekela indawo eningi ngezinto okufanele sigijime nxazonke. Kunohambo oluthile olungaba lude kakhulu ohambweni lwesithuthuthu, noma oludinga ukuthi ubonakale ugqoke kahle futhi ucacile ngenkathi ufika. Abantu abaningi bathanda izimoto ngenxa yokuzishayela bazizwa kamnandi. Mane ubheke ukukhethwa okukhulu kwezimfashini, kanye ne imfashini yamanje kuma-SUV akhanyisa igesi.

Izimoto eziningi zipakiwe I-95% yesikhathi. Uma abanikazi bezindlu zabo bezisebenzisa kancane, mhlawumbe ukwabelana ngezimoto nohambo kungaba ithuba elinobungani bemvelo kunokusebenzisa okomuntu siqu. Kodwa-ke iqiniso lokuthi abantu abaningi bakulungele ukukhokha imali enkulu ngento eyodwa basebenzisa kuphela u-5% wesikhathi egqamisa indawo efanelekile yabantu abahamba ngasese.

Okuheha okuyisisekelo kwezimoto ukungena okuqondile okuvumela abantu kanye nezindawo kanye nezinye izindlela nezinqumo-okungaphansi kwalapho imigwaqo imvamisa ingagcwele kakhulu futhi lapho kungapakwa emaphethelweni ohambo ngalunye. Okokungena kukho konke lokhu ngesikhathi esifinyeleleka ohambweni losuku lonke olumatasa, ezemoto cishe ziyindlela yokuhamba enobungani emabangeni afanele.

Uma uhlala emzaneni ongenazimoto, futhi unezinkampani zamabhasi ezimbalwa noma ezingekho, ezinye izindlela zakho nezinqumo zabasebenzi, abathengisi nezinkampani zivinjelwe. Thenga imoto futhi amathuba athuthuke kakhulu. Yize kunemibono eminingi yokushintsha izimoto ngaphandle kwamadolobha, afana namabhayisikili e-e amabanga amade, ukuthinteka kwawo okuphelele akunakwenzeka ukuze ungeze okuningi njengokuningi.

Kodwa-ke emadolobheni, imigwaqo kwesinye isikhathi iminyene futhi ukupaka kuvinjelwe. Impela kungenzeka ukushintsha izimoto khona lapha. Ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto eLondon kwakusezingeni eliphakeme phakathi neminyaka yama-XNUMXs, lapho kubalwa ngakho Uhambo olungu-50%. Njengoba abantu bakuleli dolobha bekhula, amandla emigwaqo yezimoto ancishisiwe ukuze kuvuleke imizila yamabhasi, imizila yamabhayisikili nendawo yabahamba ngezinyawo. Ngaso leso sikhathi esifanayo, bekukhona imali eningi emandleni ohambo lwesitimela, konke lokho kunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto.

Amadolobha adlule anabantu abaningi, noma kunjalo, intengo yoxhaso lwezitimela kunzima ukuyithethelela, futhi amabhasi emigwaqweni eminyene awenzi okuhlukile okuhehayo ukuhamba ngezimoto. Kodwa-ke amabhasi emizileni ezinikele akhululwe ezivakashini ezivamile — ngokuvamile okwaziwa ngokuthi amabhasi asheshayo — angasebenza njengabiza kancane ukwehluka ekuqeqesheni uhambo.

Ukuvaleka komqedazwe kuqinisekisile ukuthi zingaba nkulu kangakanani izinguquko ekuziphatheni kohambo lwethu. Okumbalwa kwalokhu kuthambekele ekutheni kuhlale isikhathi eside, njengoba abantu abengeziwe benza imali ngokusebenzela ekhaya, balungiselela izingqungquthela nge-videoconferencing, futhi bagcine on-line. Kodwa-ke ukuhamba okungaphansi kokuya emsebenzini nokuzilibazisa kungancishiswa kuzokwenyuka ezinhlotsheni ezahlukahlukene zohambo, njengoba abantu besizwa ngempela isidingo sokuphuma ekhaya futhi bahlanganyele nomhlaba obanzi.

Akucaci ukuthi sikwazi kangakanani ukuthembela ekuguquleni indlela yokuziphatha ukuze sisize ukuhanjiswa kwe-decarbonise nokunciphisa ukungcoliswa komoya. Uhulumeni wesifundazwe kufanele esikhundleni sakhe ancike ekuguqukeni amafutha ashisayo ngamandla kagesi-ukushintshanisa izinjini zomlilo ezimotweni, amaveni kanye nezitimela ezinamabhethri kagesi nezimoto.

Izinqubomgomo zomshwalense zokukhangisa ukuhambahamba futhi ekubuyiseleni zibaluleke kakhulu enhlalakahleni kanye nezinzuzo zemvelo abazokuthwala ngokungenakugwenywa. Kodwa-ke kubonakala sengathi abathambekele ekuqedeni ukuheha kwezimoto bebodwa, futhi ubuchwepheshe beCopenhagen kusho ukuthi ukudonsa okubaluleke kakhulu kuzoba kusuka ezokuthutha zomphakathi njengokungena esikhundleni.
