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.
