car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are now 'one big traffic jam'. how to do you think this statement is? what measures can government take to discourage people from using their cars?

As a repercussion of overpopulation and due to reaching the infrastructure's capacity for

cars

, many cities have become one giant traffic jam. In my opinion, there are still some measures governments can take to reverse

this

phenomenon. On the one hand, taxation revision could be extremely helpful for solving

this

conundrum. Since most citizens prefer using their own transportation vehicles, the governments have provided them with

such

opportunities.

However

, by acknowledging the fact a reduction in the number of

cars

is vital, they could increase the taxation rates on the personal usage of

cars

.

As a result

, not only the treasury would increase in value but

also

, most folk in order to evade paying extra money would start using other means of transportation

thus

, the number of

cars

would decline.

For instance

, UK has significantly fewer

cars

compared to the USA which is a direct result of intense car and parking taxes.

On the other hand

, changing promoted role models could highly impact the final results. People tend to copy the behaviour of their idols and using

cars

is no exception.

Therefore

, in cities where the majority of movie characters, politicians and celebrities tend to use their own vehicles, more people are likely to follow

this

trend. Cities in the USA are great exemplars whereas

in contrast

most European ones. To conclude, the over usage of

cars

is an unneglectable issue that can affect our lives.

Nevertheless

, we can follow certain plans to solve it which require the support of governments.In my opinion, acts like taxation increase and public transport usage promotion, are examples of which that could highly improve the situation.
