In today's generation we can travel from one place to another in a very short amount of time with the help of vehicles. We can travel from one country to another in a minimum of 6 hours. Automobiles have made our lives easier. Every person has some kind of vehicle in their home. Some of them have bike, some of them have scooters and some of them have cars. Automobiles are very common nowadays. Automobiles are both cheap and expensive. Automobiles can be of 4 wheel or 2 wheel. Lots of people are attracted to automobiles. People are also spending a large amount of money on automobiles. Many people in Nepal are also getting attracted to expensive cars and bikes. Many foreign automobile companies are also being attracted to Nepal. These foreign companies' vehicles are more expensive compared to normal vehicles. Foreign companies' vehicles are much better than normal ones. They are more reliable than normal and have better build quality. Their minimum price is 1 crore and it can be upto 6 crore. The most expensive vehicle in Nepal is Land Rover. Some of the foreign companies in Nepal are BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, Jaguar etc. Some of the normal and cheap companies in Nepal are Hyundai, Suzuki, Honda, Tata, Kia etc. The most selling vehicle in Nepal is Suzuki because it is cheap and can be afforded by lots of people. People are also becoming careless because of automobiles. Many accidents occur because of automobiles and people lose their lives. People also lost their lives because of over-speeding. Automobiles also help in different sectors, for example tractor help in agricultural fields, ambulances help to get to hospital in time, buses help to take students from home to school etc. Automobile has both advantages and disadvantages so we should be careful while using it. There is also lots of air pollution because of automobiles so that's why big companies like Tesla have already started to bring electric vehicles. Electric vehicles have lots of benefits. For example, they are environmentally friendly, there will be no air pollution, and it is cheaper than normal vehicles. Government has also decided to bring charging stations in different parts of Nepal, mainly on highways. The most expensive car in the world is Bugatti La Voiture Noire which costs around 18.7 million dollars. Now let's go to air transportation. Today we can go from one country to another in a very short amount of time. We can also travel from one part of the country to another part of the country. For example if it takes 7 to 8 hours from Kathmandu to Biratnagar by car then it will take only 30 minutes in aeroplane. Airplanes are the fastest source of transportation after the rocket. The world's largest airplane is the Antonov An-225. It is a cargo plane which can hold 280 to 320 tons. Finally, I would like to say that we should be careful with automobiles because many people lost their lives due to automobiles.
