Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are now ‘one big traffic jam.’ How true do you think this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people from using their cars?

Over the

last

few years, many people opine that the

traffic

congestion problems have become worse in many cities due to the rapidly rising of cars on the roads. Personally, I agree with

this

argument in some extents.

Therefore

, the government should think about the solution to decrease the number of cars on the road in order to alleviate the

traffic

problems. There are several reasons that cause the

traffic

congestion.

First

of all, the price is cheaper than the past. In the past, the automobile was considered as a niche product, so only wealthy people can afford it. Nowadays, the price was cheaper because the technology improvement that reduce the production cost.

Moreover

, people have more ways to finance the purchase

such

as down payment. Another reason, the public transportation system does not cover all the areas of the city. Because of

this

, people have to interchange many public transports before reaching the destination, so people rather

use

their car than using public

transport

because it’s more convenient. In order to alleviate the

traffic

congestion

,

Accept space

,

the government has to make the car on the road decrease by encourage to

use

public

transport

. Improving the

transport

structure to cover all areas of the city can increase commuters to

use

public system.

Secondly

, reduce the public

transport

price and increase the number of rides during rush hour.

This

way

also

persuades people to

use

the system because the lower cost and less time of travelling. In conclusion, the growth of car owners is giving a lot of

traffic

problems, but it can be solved by encouraging people to

use

an alternative way of transportation.
