People who live in large cities face a range of problems in their daily life. What are the main problems people in cities face, and how can these problems be tackled?

A variety of

problems

, including

smogs

and

traffic

jams, are a daily matter for many major

cities

.

Nevertheless

, those

problems

might be resolved with public

transport

and a waste tax. In

this

essay, I will try to explain my point of view about both of the previously mentioned

problems

and solutions.

To begin

with,

residents

in metropolises have to live up with commutes that can take up to a few hours a day. Let us consider living in the suburbs and working in the city centre, the time spent during the back and forth ride with a car can account for up to several hours.

Furthermore

, cars and other private

transport

using non-renewable energy largely account for the

smogs

that threaten

people

's health and can cause lung cancer.

Therefore

, even though the

transport

residents

are using is possibly harming their health, no other choice is available. Notwithstanding, the countermeasures to these

problems

are plausible to be made.

First

of all, both commutes and

smogs

could be resolved with public transportation. It is not only cheaper but faster as well. Public

transport

, including the metro, makes the trip several times faster than it would have been with a car.

Moreover

, the time during the trip could be spent learning, studying or working, whereas a driver must be always attentive to the

traffic

.

Besides

, while a medium amount of

people

using private

transport

could cause a

traffic

jam, the same amount of

people

on public

transport

in no way would paralyze the streets. In order to make public

transport

even more attractive, the waste tax for cars, motorcycles and other gas-using

transport

must be introduced.

Thus

,

such

measures would result in less

transport

responsible for causing smog and

traffic

jams. To conclude, even though commutes are resulting in

people

spending a great deal of time on the streets, and acid rain are a grave danger to

residents

' health, solutions are possible. Public

transport

and
