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 this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people from using their cars?

Whether or not there is a growth rate of

 can lead to several problems to the city.
This
 essay conveys that the increase in
car
 ownership has existed for years.
In addition
, the governments are the primary contributor to mitigate
this
 issue.
First
 of all, it is undeniable that

citizens.
For instance
, in Thailand, public buses are quite dangerous to take as the bus takers are always driving over the limited speed, which there is a number of

 have injured by them.
Moreover

 and work on time. Solutions for
this
 is that the governments should develop and create new schemes for public transportations in order to increase the number of

 used.
For example
, the authorities have to invest more money to establish rapid train and bus not only the rural area but

public transport has not existed.
Additionally
, the old public transports should
also
 need to be developed and changed to be in a good standard as well. As a consequence, the public
ones
 will gain more interest among
people
 and that contribute to the reduction of
car
 ownership. In conclusion, I personally believe that nowadays, many
people
 always travel by their private
car
 due to lack of public quality. The government should,
therefore
, encourage
people
 to use the public
ones
 by developing those to be well-perform and far more convenient than their own
