Description[?]:
| Still keeping the environentally-friendly-fuel-car incentives, we ask a policy in the lines of 'encouraging' not 'forcing' people to have just one car/travelling by bus.

If they are forced to have more than one car being a numerous familiy, or they just want more than one car for whatever reason, why can't they? |

| Message | "We'd also introduce discounts for collective transports." - Try and claim creation of legislation that has been in action for years. Especially annoying as we were the original creators. People have had enough time to get used to only having one car and it is no longer a burden. This constant changing merely confuses people. You also have to admit you are being environmentally unfriendly by increasing the numbers of cars on the road. Think about how hard it will be for ur infrastructure to cope after so long with only one car. |

| Message | Fine. If collective transport discounts are already in use, that's fine. About the changing, you must admit people don't go buying new cars as they were going to buy their daily bread. And, our infrastructure is weak and you blame cars? |

| Message | Our infrastructure is used to the amount of cars generated from the one/household policy. Allowing more cars will mean more on the roads and could rise levels to ones that the current infrastructure could not cope with. Unless you are prepared to invest more mony into infrastructure than this could hold serious long-term problems. I do admit that this won't be instantaneous but it must be considered before allowing this law to continue. |
