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.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
