reason is that since a large

As a result

However

Firstly

, it is necessary for governments to spend their budget on improving

.

Secondly

, politicians should restrict the excessive usage of individual

transport

by imposing higher taxes or charging a

congestion

fee. In London,

charge of 10% per day for every car for drivers going to the city during rush hours, which has helped to discourage

from driving private

. In conclusion, there are various factors leading to

traffic

congestions, and measures can be implemented to tackle

this

issue.
