Good morning, I'm Martina Rodríguez and together with my team we'll improve why pedestrian areas and public transport are actually an efficient alternative to the use of private cars.
00:00:12
For this, I will base myself in our three main arguments. These are the harmful effects of private cars, the safety and the accessibility.
00:00:32
But first, you talk about the supposed inaccessibility of public transport to reach some places in Madrid.
00:00:39
But for example, Madrid has 302 stations with a network of 294 kilometres.
00:00:46
And we also come with 10,884 bus stations, so there's nothing about inaccessibility, because you could reach wherever you want.
00:00:52
And where did you find those data?
00:01:01
Also, at first glance, it seems like a huge cost to reach the pedestrian areas, but it's
00:01:05
just an investment that we will all appreciate in the long run, because it saves us a lot
00:01:18
of money instead of seeing it as a cost.
00:01:24
Having said this, now I will tackle our first argument.
00:01:30
These are the harmful effects of private cars. But first, before developing this argument, I would like to read a sentence said by the president of the Spanish Health Foundation.
00:01:32
It states that 9 out of 10 people and 93% of Spaniards breathe air that exceeds levels of pollution.
00:01:42
This pollution generated mainly by the use of cars is creating damage to the respiratory system, increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases,
00:01:51
diseases, pulmonary mortality, bronchial asthma and cardiovascular diseases.
00:01:59
This contamination is literally killing us, since according to the WHO, by 2050,
00:02:08
particulate matter could generate about 3.5 million deaths here in Spain.
00:02:13
Then, about our second argument, about safety, it is easy. Less traffic equals more safety,
00:02:19
due to the fact that when we increase the use of cars, the risk of having a traffic accident also increases.
00:02:27
In this graph created by the GDT, we can see the different numbers of deaths caused by traffic accidents.
00:02:36
We can see that, for example, here in the Netherlands, there are much less accidents than in Romania.
00:02:46
This is because the Netherlands comes with much more pedestrian areas than Romania has, so more pedestrian areas equals to less traffic.
00:02:55
Finally, our last argument deals with the accessibility of public transport.
00:03:08
Increasing public transport could be beneficial for the aging population, for young people, for persons without disabilities,
00:03:13
that also said that we would have to adapt more the public transport for these
00:03:22
type of people, but there's actually an adaptation nowadays for them, so you're going to have to adapt enough more.
00:03:27
And also it would be beneficial for adults that don't have a driver's
00:03:36
license, which according to the national statistic study are about 40 millions
00:03:41
here in Spain, since every three adults who could drive, only one does.
00:03:45
This is because they state that it is much more efficient for them to use public transport because of economic terms and time.
00:03:50
Thank you for listening.
