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?

Population is increasing day by day, due to which

traffic

on roads is

also

increasing. Some people believe that if we can reduce the need for people to

travel

from home to work, shopping, it will help in reducing the

traffic

. I disagree with the statement as we cannot have all the people in their houses all the time. The

traffic

is increased due to the excessive use of private vehicles. Nowadays, there are more number of cars on the roads as compared to the people it can carry. People want to

travel

in their private vehicle as it is easy to reach to their destination. People travelling to same office building prefer to come in separate cars. A bus has the capacity of carrying 80 passengers approximately which means a single bus can replace 80 cars on the road. People should use public transport for travelling to offices. We cannot restrict a child in his home and expect that he will get proper education. A student needs to go to school, college in order to get higher studies. We cannot shop for all the resources online like groceries so we need to go to shopping malls in order to buy them.

Also

, people

travel

to have a peace of mind after working for more than 8 hours, 5 days a week. To sum up, we cannot control the

traffic

on roads by limiting the need for

travel

.

Instead

of that government should encourage people to use public transport whenever possible. It will not only reduce

traffic

, but will

also

help in reducing pollution as less number of vehicles on road lesser will be the air pollution.
