Every day traffic seems to get worse on our roads. How can we reduce the number of cars on our roads today? What alternatives can we offer car drivers?

Ever since the transportation companies revolutionized affordable

vehicle

to the public, many people preferred to drive with their own cars to travel. It offers comfort and privacy compared to travelling with public transportation

number

of cars on the roads that will be discussed in the following paragraphs. With the growth of low-cost cars in the market

government

to reduce the purchasing power of the automobile market,

number

of passengers required in a

vehicle

if they wanted to use the main

road

at rush or peak hours.

For example

, in Bandung, Indonesia, a minimum of 4 passengers required for a car to use one of their busiest streets from 5:00 am to 10:00 am and from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

This

regulation eventually forces the people to have 4 passengers,

otherwise

, they have to wait until the period is over or re-reroute.

Thirdly

, in Jendral Sudirman street, in Jakarta’s central business district, the governor imposes an odd-and-even

number

of plates to take turn in using the

road

in designated period as in Bandung.

This

rule aims to reduce the

traffic

number

by matching the end of the plate

number

with the current date to know weather it is an odd or even

number

. To conclude, there are several ways the

government

can make the

traffic

to be better with imposing regulations.

However

, there are

also

other ways as the alternatives that can be offered to the car drivers.

Firstly

, riding a bike to work can help the drivers to be more active and contribute to reduce the air pollution.

Secondly

, carpooling with your colleagues/friends who are going to the same area which can reduce the numbers of cars on the

road

.

Thirdly

, there are various public transportation that are readily available to ride. With these alternatives,

government

could help by injecting more funds in bicycle

road

and improve the public transports. With being conscious about our need in using a motor

vehicle

, I believe we can reduce the

number

of

traffic

and pollution together!
