In cities and towns all over the world, the high volume of traffic is a problem. What are the causes of this and what actions can be taken to solve this problem?

In modern society,

traffic

jams are the most urgent issue for many cosmopolitan cities around the world. There are several causes of the high volume of vehicles on roads.

However

, there are certain steps that governments should take to resolve

this

problem.

This

essay will be discussed both main factors contributing to

this

problem and solutions to remedy.

To begin

with, the two main causes for

this

issue are the low prices of

oil

and poor public

transportations

.

Firstly

, people

choose

to

drive

private vehicles rather than travelling by public transportation as the

oil

's price is cheap. The advanced technologies of

drive

down the cost of producing

oil

and

therefore

, most people at all income levels are able to afford

this

fossil energy. Research from Imperial college London reveals that since 1980 when

the high

levels of

consumptions have corresponded with the high

of

traffic

on the streets. Another important cause is that public

transportations

have poor conditions and are unreliable. Workers, who need to work in the morning, would unlikely to take risks of being late according to the delay of buses or trains.

Therefore

, people are likely to

drive

their own cars so that they will be on time for working. There are several steps that governments should take to remedy

this

issue. The state should consider taxing on oils in order to raise the price of energy consumption. If oils become more pricey, people will avoid

private cars for working or travelling.

For example

, after Chinese government increased taxes on

oil

prices, the

traffic

on roads were reduced by 60%.

Moreover

, an additional action would be improving the public facilities. Governments should provide more budgets to maintenance bus and train systems as well as increase the frequency of services provided by those

transportations

in order to gain more users. In Japan,

for instance

, the main reason that 90% of Japanese people use trains in their daily life as they trust in the high quality of public services in their country and

therefore

they are willing to travel more on trains. In conclusion, it seems to me that

oil

prices and poor public

transportations

lead to high levels of

traffic

on the roads having said that there
