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?

Nowadays, the number of vehicles

rose

Suggestion

has risen

had risen

sharply and it was considered to be the main cause of the

traffic

problems in many cities.

This

essay will present my view about

this

problem

and propose two measures as a remedy to it. In the past, it was difficult for some people

to buy

Suggestion

buying

cars because of their expensive prices.

However

, when technology was developed, the cost of

car

manufacturing was decreased making it reachable for everyone.

Therefore

, consumers have the power to buy vehicles and

then

it led to a huge

traffic

problem

we face today. I personally think it is true that an increase in

car

ownership can lead to a

traffic

problem

. In order to solve

this

problem

, there are two solutions that

government

can

use

to influence people not to

use

their private cars.

First

,

government

should encourage people to

use

public transportations. In fact, many countries have already encouraged their people to

use

public services

instead

of their own vehicles but the

problem

still not be solved because people did not realize how effective using public transport can be.

Thus

,

government

Suggestion

the government

should develop public

transportation

in many ways;

for example

, every commuters’ cleanliness should be at

excellent level

Suggestion

an excellent level

, buses should be on time and have their own lane during peak hours and estimate travel time should be provided to people.

Another

measures which

as

an

indirect solution to reduce using private vehicles is that

government

increase

Suggestion

increases

some costs that paid by

car

owners and decrease price of public transport tickets at the same time. Increasing costs of using private vehicles

such

as fuel tax,

car

maintenance, or tollway tickets can encourage people to look for another kind of

transportation

to take them to their destinations.

In addition

, if

government

Suggestion

the government

reduce

reduces

public

transportation

price, they can get more attention from people and that might solve the

traffic

jam

problem

. In conclusion, I strongly agree that the increase of

car

ownership

the

problem

of

traffic

jam in many countries. The two solutions that

government

can

use

to convince people from using their own vehicles

are effective public

are an effective public

improvement and the increasing costs of using cars together with reducing public

transportation

prices.
