Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that in many cities around the world there are constant traffic jams. How true do you think this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people from owning cars?

In the past thirty years, purchasing a

has become a necessity for the majority of

However

, I strongly believe that the increasing amount of

is causing traffic congestion almost everywhere. To tackle

this

particular issue, the

government

must provide a good public

transportation

system and raise the

tax. Three decades ago,

cars

were considered a luxury item, as they were very expensive and scarce.

However

, turning to the present time, there are various types of

cars

that are sold at different price ranges.

In addition

to that,

cars

on the road has caused traffic jams in many places, especially in bigger cities. From my perspective, many workers prefer driving a

car

due to

inadequate public

. To overcome

this

problem, the

government

must develop a better public

system, which should be affordable and accessible in all areas.

For instance

as they can travel anywhere easily by bus or tram.

Moreover
