you are ready? You are not ready, okay, but it is okay. The person in the introduction. Oh, what is the topic? It is so long, I never remember.
00:00:00
So we are going to discuss whether pedestrian areas and public transport are good options to use the comm in cities.
00:00:11
Okay, that is what we are going to discuss. This thing which is port A is called, that thing which is port B is against.
00:00:31
Okay? So, if you are ready, we start.
00:00:40
Can I put this here?
00:00:50
You can move it wherever you want.
00:00:52
You have all the space for you.
00:00:54
When you utter the first word, I'll start the challenge.
00:01:00
They are trying to make you believe that this benefits us.
00:01:07
But please, do you really think that it is better having these cities rather than these ones?
00:01:10
Well, with your idea of maintaining the use of private cars as the main use of transport,
00:01:15
you would be supporting this type of situation.
00:01:20
Good morning everyone, I am Ainoa Liguerzana and together with my team,
00:01:23
formed by Martina Rodríguez during the first rebuttal,
00:01:26
Ainara Arbesi defending the second rebuttal and Salma Boumediene concluding the debate,
00:01:29
we are going to show you why we are completely in favour of pedestrian areas and public transport
00:01:34
an efficient alternative to private cars. To start with, I'm going to define the
00:01:39
terms that are going to be used in this debate. Firstly, a pedestrian area is a
00:01:43
zone that has been conceived exclusively for the use of pedestrians by excluding
00:01:47
all types of motor vehicles. And secondly, the public transport is a system of
00:01:51
vehicles such as buses and trains that operate at regular times on fixed routes
00:01:56
and are used by the public. Now that we understand the topic of the debate, I'm
00:02:01
I'm going to base our position in our three solid arguments that are the harmful effect
00:02:06
on the environment and human health, the safety and the accessibility to public transport.
00:02:11
First of all, the excessive number of cars contribute to air pollution, producing high
00:02:16
numbers of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. 80 to 90% of environmental
00:02:22
impact comes from fuel consumption and emissions of air pollution and greenhouse gases, while
00:02:29
public transport generates 5.5 times fewer greenhouse gases than a car.
00:02:35
Makers produce toxic substances that affect our lands.
00:02:41
And even more, according to a study by the Auckland University of Technology,
00:02:45
approximately 33% of strokes are due to air pollution.
00:02:49
Dealing with safety, the excessive number of cars and traffic
00:02:54
produces car accidents causing many deaths and injuries.
00:02:57
In addition, many drivers drive carelessly and make improper use of their cars.
00:03:00
And according to the DGT, the bus is the safest mean of transport and only the 0.2% of the fatalities in road are attributed to the bus.
00:03:04
Tackling our last argument about accessibility, public transport guarantees the mobility of groups with less access, such as young people, the elderly and people with reduced mobility who do not have or cannot use a car for its transfers.
00:03:14
It is accessible and affordable for everyone thanks to its low rates.
00:03:27
And to conclude, I want to point out that whether the economy is dependent on cars is questionable because as research points, as a fact that cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users spend similar amounts of money and probably more time than car users.
00:03:31
To give you an example, Brazil's car-free zone has become very popular
00:03:46
because surveys show that 85% of local shopkeepers and 80% of visitors from abroad
00:03:50
are completely in favor of the improvements in the pedestrian areas.
00:03:58
Thank you all for listening.
