In the late 1960s, people found out that the increase in the use of cars led to many problems. There were always too many cars for the highway system, and terrible traffic problems developed. People were spending hours in traffic jams getting to and from work every day. In addition, the air in many cities became dirty because of pollution from millions of cars, and many people died in traffic accidents. As people began to get worried about how the use of cars was hurting the environment, cities began to spend more money on public transportation again, so fewer people would have to drive cars.
When gas became very expensive in the mid1970s, the number of people taking public transportation began to increase. It's terribly expensive to build new public transportation systems, so it's very difficult to make big changes in the way people travel. However, an increase in the use of public transportation has begun.
