To begin

with, in order to curb the issue of jam-packed

roads

with

vehicles

, the higher authorities should encourage the usage of public transportation and they should spread awareness through campaigns in the schools, colleges, and public buildings because most of the youngsters and professionals use the automobiles to commute to offices;

vehicles

to reach their destinations

instead

of using trains and buses. When they would be aware of the benefits of public transportation they would adopt it;
