One problem faced by almost every large city is traffic congestion. What do you think the causes are?· What solutions can you suggest?

#city #traffic #congestion
In almost every country, a
problem
 that has been existed, especially in a big
city
, is
traffic
 congestion. These situations happened due to some reason. It can be caused by both
people
 and
city
 plans. To start with, In an enormous
city
,
such
 as Bangkok, had
this
problem
 because
people
 afraid that they will go to
work
 late, and most companies start
work
 at 8 o'clock, so they decide to set off early, and
then
 the
problem
 occurs because they are going out on the road at the same time, so the
traffic
 is bad. Another reason is the
city
 plan, if at
first
 the town was designed by unprofessional, it will affect
traffic
 in the
city
 in the future years.
Also
, the primary cause is urbanization, because many
people
 from all over the countries, come to the big
city
 for
work
, experience and so on. When there are more
people
 and cars but the same number of roads,
traffic
 congestion will happen obviously. The method that can solve
this
problem
 may come from the government, it should provide more public transportations to citizens in the countries or cities
hence
 It will have less car in the road if most of the
people
 take public cars
instead
. Another method is the company should provide
work
 from home for some
people
, because some workers do not have to be present at the company, they can just
work
 their assignment at their residences.
Traffic
 jams can occur because of commuters and the town plans.
This
 issue can be resolved by both government and company by creating more public transport and permitting employees to
work
 at their accommodations.
