The best way to reduce traffic congestion is to provide a free public transport service. To what extent do you agree or disagree?. Give your opinion and examples from your own experience.

Nowadays, almost every household has a car in their garage.

Such

a particular occurrence contributes to congestion that happens on the

roads

of crowded population areas. Some people believe that free public transportation could reduce the issues of

traffic

jams.

However

, I am against it.

To begin

with,

traffic

congestion is caused by too many private vehicles on

roads

. The situation gets even more severe as it becomes a trend. In view of

this

, some suggest having free public transportation as it contributes to reducing congestion.

However

, it can't tackle the root of the problem.

For example

, public vehicles like buses have regular bus stops. People can't directly go to their destination once they get off the buses.

However

, all these problems can be solved if they use private cars

instead

.

Therefore

, people who like private vehicles' convenience will still prefer that over public transportations. In order to handle

this

issue, the government can give certain policies to alleviate it.

For instance

, Jakarta is one of the cities which has the most

roads

with

traffic

jams in the world. The local government has a policy called "Odd-Even License Plate Number". In detail, cars with even and odd plate numbers could only operate on certain days and on certain

roads

respectively without collision, or else they have to be penalized. With policies like

this

can surely help to slacken the high

traffic

volume of the busy cities. To conclude,

traffic

jams would always be a challenge to solve by the authorities. One possible approach is restricting

traffic

volume according to the plate numbers.
