The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing the need for people to travel from home for work, education or shopping. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

They say, the only method of decreasing the

traffic

rate nowadays is by lessening the need for humans to go from home for work, education and shopping. I disagree with

this

statement, and in the following paragraphs, I will represent my take on

this

.

To begin

with, I can say that belittling the demand for

people

to commute from home to work, for education or shopping is, of course, an option to decrease the rate of

traffic

but

first

and foremost, it is not the only way.

Besides

, it is not kind of fair because

people

have a right to easily travel from one place to another. That can affect

people

’s social skills, an example of

this

is home officing which will be really challenging. During the lockdown, a lot of

people

including me understood that they lack real communication and that virtual reality can never replace it.

On the other hand

, there are alternatives to reducing the amount of

traffic

.

For instance

, the price of petroleum, gas and other fuels can be increased, which can lead to using public

traffic

such

as subways and buses.

This

can

also

reduce the number of car accidents because not everyone will have their own car, and one family will afford to have one car. To conclude,

although

diminishing the necessity for

people

to move from here to there can affect the quantity of

traffic

use, it is not the only approach to

this

question. There are other options that can be taken into account as the rise in the cost of fuels.
