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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is true that the automobile ownership went up dramatically over the

last

three decades. It automatically leads to the

traffic

congestion

Use synonyms

in cities in many countries of the world. We cannot limit the number of

car

possessions to deal with

this

issue.

Therefore

Linking Words

, the

government

Use synonyms

should think about some solutions to persuade people to refrain from using their own transport in order to reduce the

traffic

Use synonyms

jam. The demand for

car

Use synonyms

purchase has increased remarkably and it makes

car

Use synonyms

companies produce and release a high number of

cars

production as well. Simultaneously, the

government

does not provide the equitable infrastructure,

such

as the street space and alternative motorways.

Consequently

Linking Words

, it is normal that

traffic

Use synonyms

congestion

Use synonyms

happens because the number of cars is not proportional to the facility provided. Another reason is that the price of cars is affordable and people can get a

car

Use synonyms

easily. In my opinion, there are several actions that

government

Use synonyms

can take to settle from

this

Linking Words

complicated problem.

Firstly

Linking Words

, whilst the vehicle companies produce their cars, the

government

Use synonyms

should build and develop the road infrastructure in order to give enough space for many vehicles to minimise the

congestion

of

traffic

Use synonyms

.

Secondly

Linking Words

, the

government

Use synonyms

can collaborate with the

car

Use synonyms

companies in producing small smart cars. The advancement of technology today is sufficient to create an innovation in

car

Use synonyms

production. The

last

Linking Words

but not least is that

government

Use synonyms

should provide many alternative transportations for the public

such

Linking Words

as trans-city buses, sky trains, and underground trains which offer better, safer, faster and more affordable transportation facilities.

As a result

Linking Words

, people will tend to choose public transportations than using their own cars.

Therefore

Linking Words

, the

traffic

Use synonyms

jam will substantially reduce. To conclude,

car

Use synonyms

possession could not be circumscribed by restricting people from buying it, as evident in the

last

Linking Words

three decades. Rather more effective ways to tackle the heinous

traffic

Use synonyms

congestion

Use synonyms

are there that

government

might select to tackle that issue.
