Today every large city facing traffic jam problem. what are the causes and how can it tackle

In recent years,

traffic

congestion

has affected many cities around the world. I believe

traffic

congestion

is caused by several issues, and several measures should be taken to solve

this

problem

.

To begin

with, there are several causes of

traffic

jams. The leading cause of

such

a

problem

is poorly integrated and inconvenient public

transport

.

For instance

, buses and trains are often packed with commuters during rush hours in many developing countries.

Therefore

, some people feel uncomfortable taking public transportation and they prefer to use their cars or motorcycles. Another important cause is the increasing

number

of private

vehicles

. As cars and motorcycles are no longer considered a luxury, most people have their own. While the

number

of

vehicles

grow significantly, the total

number

of roads has remained the same.

Consequently

,

this

phenomenon has caused massive

congestion

in many major cities worldwide. In order to tackle

this

obstacle, several solutions can be proposed.

Firstly

, governments should improve the public

transport

system.

For instance

, buses and trains should be more frequent to avoid overcrowding during rush hours. It is

also

crucial to integrate the public

transport

system by using one travel card for different types of

transport

. Another solution is governments should impose higher

taxes

on private

vehicles

and gasoline. If governments raise

taxes

, people will reconsider buying new cars.

This

is because apart from

taxes

, they still have to pay for regular maintenance. In conclusion,

traffic

congestion

is a growing

problem

in many countries. Some causes of

traffic

congestion

are inadequate public

transport

systems and the rising

number

of private

vehicles

without support from the existing infrastructure. Some solutions that can be taken to reduce the

problem

include improving the public

transport

systems and increasing

taxes

on both private

vehicles

and gasoline.
