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

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,

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

Furthermore
