The best way to reduce traffic congestion in cities is to provide a free public transport service. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion and examples from your own experience.

Transportation has evolved drastically over the years with the advent of modern technology. The metropolitan cities today are experiencing enormous

traffic

congestion. In order to resolve

this

issue, a school of thought says that the ultimate way to curb

this

problem is the provision of free public

transport

by the government. I partly agree with the statement,

however

transport

is made

compulsory

in a varied aspect. To embark, the most worrisome issue in the cities today is the

pollution

caused by the vehicles. The toxic release from the bikes and cars are released into the atmosphere leading to global warming and

For instance

statistical data says around 75% of the citizens suffer from breathing problems because of

Hence

this

could be solved with public

replacing the private ones.

On the other hand

, public

cannot always meet the demands. The

of privacy of an individual fails in

transport

like buses or trains, whereas, cars can provide space for a person to carry out his personal work.

Furthermore

, not everyone can catch a bus in time and will want to complete lots of other work on their way which is not possible in a public

transport

. To cite a real life situation, working professionals would prefer dropping their children to

on the way to their office and sometimes buy household products while returning back home. All these comforts are not met in public

transport

. To recapitulate, perhaps it is vital to avoid

traffic

congestion in cities as it poses various problems like

pollution

and delay in reaching workplace during the peak hours of the day.

However

, the privacy of a human being and comforts should

be considered in certain instances. All in all, we need to be aware of when to use public
