The Increasing Use of Private Cars in China

Compared with two decades ago, more people have their own cars now. The number of private cars in China has increased dramatically during the past twenty years, especially in big cities and urban areas such as Beijing and Shanghai.

What led to this dramatic boom in private cars With the rapid growth of population, the public transportation has became too crowed, and is often blocked during rush hours, which wastes precious time. Since "time is money", the owning of private cars quickly gained favor, especially for the wealthy, such as managers, bosses and directors of privately owned enterprises. Furthermore, due to the improvement of living standards, most people prefer traveling on in holidays to just staying at home. A road trip in one’s own car has became the favorable choice. With a car, you can go wherever you want, without worrying about checking a bus or train schedule or looking for a hotel when the night falls. This definitely makes traveling more entertaining and comfortable. The boom of our country’s auto industry and the policy of encouraging consumption also stimulates car purchases.

With the development of our country, more people will have the opportunity to own their own cars, which will make their life more convenient and enjoyable.
