Traffic congestion is a growing problem in many of the world's major cities. Explain some possible reasons for this problem, and suggest some solutions.

Nowadays, the most common problem in the world's major cities is

Traffic

congestion. The main reasons for

this

are a large number of private

ownership and inadequate public

traffic

congestion is a lot of people tend to use

Placing additional lanes will not solve the problems ,

on the contrary

, it will generate more bottlenecks.

This

condition will be getting worse if the public

transportation

services are poor.

transportation

. Right now, Jakarta becomes the most congested city in Indonesia. To solve the problems, The Government should improve public

transportation

quality as comfortable as using private vehicles.

In addition

to the quality, public

transportation

capacities should be increased by building a busway line. The Bus Rapid Transit will operate as a feeder for the MRT line and serve downtown areas. As for rural areas, a Metro line must be built to catch the demand from hinterlands. Another simple solution is to encourage people for walking and bicycle by providing good pedestrian ways and bike lanes.

For example

, Japan Government prohibit

cars

and motorcycles to operate in the morning rush and increase vehicles tax to reduce

cars

ownership. To conclude, the main cause of

traffic

congestion in the world's major cities
