Some people think that in order to solve traffic and transportation problems, people should be encouraged to live in the suburbs or in the countryside rather than in the cities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued that to solve

traffic

and

transportation

problems, people should be encouraged to live in the suburbs or countryside rather than in the cities.I strongly disagree with

this

statement. In my opinion, there are several other ways to solve

this

issue.

Firstly

, let's discuss the effects of movement. Many cities are overcrowded and populated. If more people migrate to the countryside, there will be accommodation problems. Because, there are not enough houses in the suburbs,

this

will lead to destruction of green areas to build more accommodation.

This

will change the nature of the area.

Secondly

, many businesses are located in the city centre. Some could move, but, some business should stay in the city centre for accessibility.

This

means that, people will be having to travel from rural to city centre every day for work.

That is

to say,

this

will cause more

traffic

jam.

Moreover

, there will an increase in air pollution and fuel consumption.

Instead

of migration, the government should improve the infrastructure of public transports and roads. Lack of good public

transportation

facilities is the prime reason for

traffic

congestion in cities, because

this

encourages people to use their own vehicles. The government and civil authorities should increase the frequency of their public

transportation

services. In order to ensure public convenience and satisfaction, services should be scheduled in a timely manner. It is

also

important to ensure the quality of roads and to eliminate bottlenecks which hamper

traffic

flow. To conclude, there are a number of solutions to

traffic

and

transportation

woes. The government and people should work hand in hand to combat

this

issue.
