essay I will discuss both problems. Perhaps the
first
 step to take would be to improve the availability of public
transport
 and install bus lanes throughout the
city
.whilst
this
 would ,in the short term,increase the pressure on the road,it is likely to result in more people using public
transport
 and leaving their vehicle at home.One way of encouraging people to adopt buses and trains is to lower the price and expand the timetable. Following that ,local councils or the government could make it more difficult for car drivers to use their cars by either charging a levy or only allowing certain
vehicles
 in
city
 areas on certain days.A similar system has been running in London for some time and has resulted in fewer
vehicles
 on the road. An alternative idea, one which is more extreme than levies and selective use, is to simply prevent private passenger
vehicles
 from entering the
city
 at all. By having only public
transport
 options, there would be no problem with congestion and would allow for more pedestrian areas in the metropolitan areas. To sum up, there is a range of options available to reduce the number of cars in the centre of cities, but ultimately they all rely on an increased public
transport
 system and encouraging drivers and their passengers to use it.
