The best way to solve traffic and transportation problem is to encourage people to live in cities rather than suburbs and countryside. To what extent do you agree or disagree？

There is an assumption that the key solution to curb service pressure is to encourage residents to move from the suburbs to the city centre;

this

claim is problematic due to the oversimplified connection between transport problems and distance. Indeed, there are reasons as to why people living downtown is considered the panacea for travel problems. Those who think in

this

way opt to associate the stress on transport mainly to an increased number of commuters between the business centre and suburban communities. Based on

this

presupposition, many people jump to the conclusion that should commuters move nearer to their workplaces in downtown areas, there would be fewer passengers on the roads during rush hours. Plausible though the suggestion of relocating residents seems, I don’t believe that it is most effective to ease the pressure on the transport system. Those championing

this

approach have reached their conclusion by generalizing the reason behind the problem –freight overload is a complex consequence of various causations that act conjointly, whether these be the underdeveloped subway networks

be indispensable if we were to alleviate the service stress. One practical option could be the construction of more subway lines, so more passengers on ground transportation can be diverted underground. it is my conclusion that shipment pressure needs to be curbed by multiple solutions.
