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

In

this

present world, the population is on the rise which is in-turn causing traffic woes in most of the cities. One

such

recommendation to decrease the flow of vehicles is by limiting the frequency of travel for work, education and shopping. I completely disagree with

this

idea as all these things are of a daily routine and can't be reduced. It

also

impacts the

economy

of a particular country . In

this

essay, I will be highlighting a few points which will prove

this

.

Firstly

, it's a must for people to go out for various reasons be it work or education. A person can't work or study by just sitting at home, one needs to go out for completing their tasks.

For example

, a person uses his own vehicle to travel to his/her office. If people use their personal vehicles for travelling it increases traffic issues to a great extent.

Therefore

, rather than stopping people from going out, it's better to encourage people to use public transport especially metro trains.

In addition

, the government should invest in building flyovers and wider roads which

also

help in curbing

this

menace.

Secondly

, the

economy

of a nation gets badly hit, if people stop using vehicles as the consumption of fuel decreases.

For Instance

, in India, the government raises its public revenue by taxing on fuel through custom duties.

Hence

, if

this

idea is implemented the revenue collection lowers and the development of the country gets affected.

Thus

, it's not a good approach to limit the travel but the efforts should be in improving the infrastructure of the transportation system. To conclude, a country's

economy

is mostly dependent on the purchases of its citizens and it's not practically possible for these ideas to implement. The more the vehicles on roads the better for the

economy

and traffic problems are solvable easily by improving the condition of the current transportation system.
