The best way for the government to solve traffic congestion is to provide free public transport 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Do you agree or disagree?

Traffic

congestion is a tough situation particularly in big cities, some individuals believe that the government offers free public transportations like subway or bus, as the best solution for

traffic

jams. While I agreed with

this

method is a nice scheme, but I believe that it will be another greater way to mitigate

traffic

jams. On the one hand, there are many perks to having public transport at no cost.

Firstly

, free public transit could draw attention from citizens and people may opt to use them

instead

of driving private cars.

As a result

, the phenomenon of the city

traffic

will be improved in many cases because the main reason for

traffic

problems is caused by a large volume of cars on the road.

Secondly

, mass transits usually have a larger capacity to accommodate a large influx of passengers commuting at the same time of day,

therefore

this

may greatly help the government to reduce thousands of people moving on-peak hours.

On the other hand

,

in addition

to the above advantage of using public transits, I consider that the other measure

also

could be a solution for easing

traffic

issues. From a societal perspective, states should publish stricter regulations to restrict drivers.

For example

, parking restrictions can be implemented to minimize the impact of parking movements on transit

vehicles

and provide wider space needed for different types of

vehicles

due to the main cause of delay of

vehicles

is that waiting while private

vehicles

are stopped in or out of parking areas. From a personal perspective, everyone has to obey and raise mass awareness regard driving rules.

For instance

, if each individual strictly complied with

traffic

laws,

such

as no rushing overtake, no going to the wrong lane or obeying

traffic

signals, the problem of

traffic

will be greatly alleviated. In conclusion, despite free public transit could minimize

traffic

problems in some ways, it could be replaced by better ways, like strengthening management or self-awareness on following

traffic

laws.
