The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing the need for people to travel from home to work, shopping and education. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is often argued that the only mean to decrease the volume of

traffic

in urban cities is by lowering the need for commuters to

work

, buying goods and go to school. These three major groups of commuter account for majority of the whole population in cities and

therefore

cause substantial burdens to the

traffic

. In my opinion, I definitely agree that these people can take their individual responsibilities to help reducing the

traffic

volume and tailbacks in many ways. Regarding the workers and students, they usually commute to

work

and school at around 7am and

then

often off from school at 5pm or

work

at 6pm.

Thus

, the vast majority of the cars and buses are congested on the road and tunnels.

As a result

, it wastes numerous people time to wait in the long queue.

In addition

, people always go shopping during

weekends

the weekends

and there is considerable increase in

the number

of holiday drivers who own their cars.

Consequently

, the total numbers of private cars significantly surge during weekends.

On the other hand

, people may argue that more transportation infrastructure should be built

instead

of limiting the commuter’s needs,

however

, many cities already face a lot of air pollution problem due to the heavy

traffic

jam and the highways can ruin the city view. In conclusion, limiting the need for commuters to

work

, study and shopping should be the

first

priority to be considered by the governments in order to tackle the

traffic

congestion.

Hence

, each individual should take responsibility to avoid travel during the peak hours. Car owners can consider to use public transports to reduce the total
