One problem faced by almost every large city is traffic congestion. What do you think the causes are? What solutions can you suggest?

Nowadays, an increasing number of
people
have become to live in large
cities
rather than rural
areas
, and
this
causes heavy
traffic
problem
in urban
areas
. In
this
essay, I am going to discuss
two
reasons behind
this
problem
and examine possible ways to address it.
To begin
with, there are
two
causes behind
this
problem
.
Firstly
, overpopulation of large
cities
,

and depopulation in the countryside is a major reason for
this
. Since there are few jobs in the countrysides,
people
move out to large
cities
and look for jobs that pay better salaries.
As a result
, the city population has increased and
traffic
congestion happens.
Secondly
, another reason for
this
commuting
time
. In general,
people
commute to their office at the same hours, around 8 to 9.
This
leads to public transportations
such
as train fully packed. I believe that there are
two
possible ways to address
such
issues. The
first
solution is to enhance moving to rural
areas
. As with overpopulation in large
cities
is a severe
problem
, depopulation in rural
areas
is critical.
However
, if
people
are able to a find well-paid job in the countryside, around half of the Japanese population want to live there. Another solution is to vary

time
. In fact, the most remarkable
traffic
jam is caused by
people
who commute to their office. Varying
time
of commuting will result in an ease
traffic
jam in the morning and the evening. To conclude, there are
two
causes which are overpopulation in large
cities
and commuting. To solve
this
problem
, it is better to move rural
areas
and decrease the population of large
cities
, and varying commuting
time
is
also
effective.
