congestion

is caused by many reasons. The major reason is the rising

number

of vehicles in many

cities

caused by the increasing population and the development of the economy.

In other words

, many

people

from rural areas move to the

cities

to work including the urban

people

and many of them want their personal transport to help them commute conveniently. As the result, as the

number

of a car rises, the change of

congestion

also

increases.

In addition

, the public transport facilities in many

cities

such

as Bangkok and Manila are inadequate and poor so that

people

choose to drive their own car

instead

of public transportations. There are many solutions to tackle

this

problem.

Firstly

, the governments should improve and provide convenient, clean and safe public transportation in order to encourage

people

to leave their own cars at house and use public transportation

instead

.

Secondly

, roads and highways should be expanded to support the increasing

number

of vehicles.

Moreover

, the governments should promote carpool and provide bicycle lanes which can bring a lot of benefits to the

people

and the environment in a term of reducing

congestion

and pollution.

Finally

, they should develop new industrial and commercial areas outside the

cities

so that

people

can move to these areas.

This

can decrease the density problem in many big

cities

. In conclusion, traffic

congestion

is mainly caused by the rising

number

of cars and poor public transportation. The governments and individuals should cooperate to solve

this

problem by improving public transport and promoting carpool.
