jams and pollution. The concern is more evident nowadays, as many people use car's individually,

However

, there are some solutions to tackle

problem.

Firstly

, the governments should increase awareness programmes among public explaining them about the harmful consequences of the excessive usage of private transport. What I mean by

this

is that they should encourage people to take public transport by making it cheap.

Moreover

Secondly

, unlike many western cities some Asian cities have more serious concerns about the

as they are in developing phase with many middle class families buying private vehicles. In these conditions, authorities should soar road taxes, I mean that with the increase of the tax, people will definitely think twice about using their own vehicles and look for other options.

For instance

can help in reducing excessive buyings.

Finally

, implementing regulations and strict rules on driving can

be helpful in the reduction of road congestions. In India, many cities have rules like allowing only type particular cars on specific days.

Additionally

, soaring parking prices can

help in tackling the issue. To sum up,

although

governments are thinking about the solutions for

problem, they are failing miserably. People should think about the harmful results of

jams like pollution, while they buy or drive a car. In my opinion, cars and other private vehicles are the main reasons of road blockages and their rise should be tackled.
