Traffic congestion solution is offering a free transport system. What is your opinion

It is thought by some people that the increasing traffic could be mitigated by providing free public transport facilities.

However

, I disagree with

this

opinion, as

this

would be a temporary solution and there are several other methods that could be helpful in order to cope up with

this

situation.

First

of all,

this

would not be able to reduce the number of cars on the road, which are the main cause of traffic.

Free service

Suggestion

The free service

will only attract lower economic class people and would make the buses crowded.

Therefore

, it is hard to assume that the wealthy people would ever choose overly crowded public buses for commuting.

Secondly

, complementary public transportation would not be a lasting solution, as there is a possibility that the

government

may soon

ran

Suggestion

run

out of money as it is difficult to maintain

such

services for

long time

Suggestion

a long time

for developing countries like India, which has other issues that needs to be cleared.

As a result

, it

will disturbs

Suggestion

will disturb

government

's budget as the

government

has to put a lot of money in funding

such

schemes. The same money,

instead

, could be used more wisely,

for example

, in increasing and improving public buses, constructing better roads and funding awareness campaigns for encouraging people to use public transport. To conclude, I strongly believe that complementary public transport would not be a lasting solution to mitigating traffic.

Hence

, the

government

needs to look out for viable and permanent methods to solve

this

issue.
