The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing the need for people to travel from home to work, shopping and education. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is true that

traffic

congestion is an inevitable

problem

in most developed regions. Some

people

think that only reducing the travel demand for commuters can improve the

problem

.

However

, I completely disagree with

this

view.

This

essay will

further

discuss the reasons behind my viewpoint.

Although

alleviating

traffic

demand is a good way to solve the

problem

, I think it is not the most ideal choice.

For example

, some of the

such

as restaurant employees, security guard and maintenance crew. In terms of education, online teaching is widely used at present, but there are some practical curriculums that need to be taught face to face, including cookery courses, chemistry and arts.

People

who go shopping are in order to relax and enjoy themselves. They usually hang out with friends or family

instead

of staying at home and doing online shopping.

On the other hand

, I believe that there are other more effective methods to cope with

traffic

jams. It is obvious that commuters tend to travel at the same time of day, and it causes

traffic

jams during rush hour.

Firstly

, governments should improve

traffic

infrastructure.

For instance

, parking zones should be extended and

to prevent exacerbating congestion by

people

driving around looking for parking space.

Secondly

, bus operators should enhance bus service. They can add more bus lanes,

Correct pronoun usage

helps to cut down journey time when it comes at the peak time.

This

development

also

can increase

people

's willingness to take buses and reduce the dependence on private cars. In conclusion, admittedly, diminishing

people

's need for

traffic

has its benefits, but it would not be the best solution to tackle the

traffic

problem
