 during the night at the weekend is a great idea. Since London underground extended its service through the night, the data shows that the number of vehicles on the road at the weekend is 40% less than before it was introduced. 
Secondly
, making cycling easier and possible, which means building bicycle lanes connecting the centre of town with the outskirts, will have more
people
 choosing to use their bikes around the city.
For instance
, the cycle to work scheme, which gives workers the opportunity to a free interest loan to purchase a good quality bicycle without paying any interest was a successful idea that more and more

 decide to benefit from, making both roads less congested and stay fit.  In conclusion, the high traffic issue we experience in large cities around the globe can be solved by improving public travel systems and incentivising the use of bikes to move around.
