Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school.

Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas.
