Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past 30 years in the world that many cities now are "one big traffic jam". Do you think that this statement is true? What measure can government take to address this problem?

In the past 30 years, more and more people tended to buy their own

car

due to the great revolution in the automobile industry and as a consequence of that now the most cities in the world are suffering from the

problem

of

traffic

congestion. In my opinion, it is completely true that the

traffic

jam is emerging as a global

problem

and it is observed that developing countries are more affected than developed country's. The prime reason behind the rapid increase in

car

ownership is the affordable price of motor vehicles because nowadays, a middle-class family can easily afford to buy a new

car

. In my country, most of the bigger cities have a

problem

of

traffic

jam and

as a result

every day, lots of their priceless time are wasted and killed. To address

this

problem

, many solutions can be proposed.

Firstly

, the government should improve the public transportation

such

as local buses, trains, and metro as well as try to lower the prices of tickets in order to attract people towards these modes of transportation.

Secondly

, the administration should spread

further

awareness about the air pollution caused by cars and other motor vehicles.

Lastly

, I think the government should impose higher taxes on cars, which make

this

costly and eventually people will move towards public transport. To conclude, it is undeniable that the

problem

of

traffic

jams is increasing day by day because the numbers of

car

ownership is increasing. But it is high time to take action in order to solve

this

big

problem

.
