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 the statement is? What measures can governments take to discharge people from using their cars?

Traffic
congestion has become a serious problem since people have been purchasing more cars across the globe for the last
three decades. I strongly agree with the statement given above. This
essay will discuss the problem and viable solutions to discourage people to use their private vehicles.
To begin
with, it is a known fact that increasing traffic
may result in higher travel time
and increase the carbon footprint. For instance
, if a person enters a commercial city, it consumes almost double or more time
during peak hours rather than to travel off-peak period in many countries. In a competitive world like this
, time
is more vital and instead
of wasting valuable time
on the road, people can invest it in something useful such
as career development, enhancing relationships and improving a language skill. Furthermore
, individuals who drive their own vehicles may indirectly contribute to global warming and environmental pollution due to the high carbon emission ratio.
Moreover
, investing in public transport
and introducing high taxes are potential solutions in order to overcome traffic
. Government should encourage the public to use general transport
methods by investing in railway systems and infrastructure. Public transport
accommodates a large volume of passengers at once. Consequently
, it may help to reduce travel time
and environmental pollution. A recent study done by the University of Belfast UK showed that after introducing the underground system in New Castle 69% of the public started using the service of these trains.
In conclusion, Time
wasting and environmental contamination are the problem caused due to traffic
and improving public transport
and introducing awareness programs are the best solution in order to reduce traffic
