The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities is by reducing the need for people to travel from home for work, education or shopping. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Traffic

congestion has become one of the most severe problems in cities around the world. Some people believe that, the only approach to minimize the

traffic

is to decrease the necessity for individuals travelling to

work

, university or shop from

home

.

However

, I will support

this

view with arguments in the following paragraph. It is often said that, the ever-increasing number of vehicles on the roads may cause acute

traffic

calamities and pollution.

This

is evident in the rush hour we experience huge congestion every morning and evening since many people go to their destinations using transports. As we know, people can

work

from

home

; even they can do anything,

such

as study and shopping using the internet.

For instance

, when technology has developed the majority of people can do online

work

, distance learning and shopping facilities are available online.

This

certainly helps us to reduce

traffic

problems on roads, which could diminish pollution, accident, and

also

save our travel time. As there have many other solutions, namely, evacuate citizens to different regions, and

infrastructural

development of roads, but these solutions have many limitations. So I think, the above solution would be a viable one for

this

problem.

Nevertheless

, even if everyone had access to the technology and the opportunity to

work

from

home

, it is unrealistic to think that everyone would want. Even though the technology for working, studying or shopping online makes

this

option a possibility, on the one hand, it would mean people had less freedom of choice and less social contact in their lives.

This

would have an astronomical impact on society. In conclusion,

although

, the majority of people have benefited from working, studying or shopping from

home

so that people should support the idea to do things from

home

using the internet which not only reduces choking

traffic

but

also

develop people’s way of living.
