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

The number of cars on the roads is increasing every day.

Traffic

and

transportation

issues are a growing concern in every major city. Many people believe that in order to solve

traffic

and

transportation

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

this

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

this

issue.

Firstly

, encouraging people to live in the cities may have a detrimental effect on the population and the environment. Overcrowding of the cities is a major issue in the world today.

Also

, cities are expensive and people may not have the funds necessary to reside in the city. Lack of good public

transportation

facilities is the prime reason for

traffic

congestion in cities, because

this

encourages people to use their own vehicles.

In addition

, poor

traffic

co-ordination, especially during peak hours, repairing of roads and other problems slow vehicular movement. The government and civic 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. Organizations should provide transport facilities for staff who travel long distances. Cabling is the best way to mitigate

traffic

woes and individuals should be encouraged to do

this

. To conclude, there are a number of solutions to

traffic

and

transportation

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

this

issue.
