Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are now ‘one big traffic jam.’ How true do you think this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people from using their cars?

The proliferation of demand for private cars, which has led to immense congestions in my cities all over the world can be undeniable. The authorities should take steps to deter citizens from private

car

possessions whilst making alternative solutions. Recent years stands witness to the population explosion which has

also

produced tremendous business potential in cities.

This

growth has accelerated migration from rural to urban areas which

further

augmented populations in urban areas. At the same time, governments could not keep up with

this

exponential growth in terms of public

transport

. Increase in populations coupled with lack of public

transport

made sure that the

car

market is booming. It saw the ascension of many giant automotive companies who with financial clouts allured the customers with attractive discounts and easy loans. Henceforth, with more citizens predisposing to buy new cars, it engenders the condition where

traffic

gridlocks rise and forming a cycle.

In addition

, the lifestyle domain of families

also

constitutes to

transport

routines. In association with family formations, their employment type, leisure preference, cohabitation, spatial locations of their home/work and their daily travel routine are factors to the increasing

car

ownership in cities.

Therefore

, the above statement is correct as all these elements coincide and that in metropolitan areas,

traffic

jams regularly occur. In hindsight, there are several actions that the regime can take to settle from

this

quandary.

First

and foremost, whilst the companies manufacture their cars, the government should establish some feasible implementations on the road for the benefits to develop any particular region sustainable in order to minimise the congestion of

traffic

.

Secondly

, they can collaborate with

car

companies in making autonomous cars to avoid pollution and minimizing time spent on the road.

Last

but not least is that related authorities should provide many alternative conveyances for the public

such

as trans-city buses

, underground trains etc which offer preponderant, safer, more expeditious and affordable transportation facilities.

As a result

, people will be inclined to cull public

transport

rather than utilizing their own cars. Ergo, the

traffic

jam will substantially truncate over time. To conclude, the government can alleviate the congestion brought by cars globally by addressing the price of anarchy in the situation and planning alternate transportation schemes in the cities with better efficiency
