The best way to solve the traffic and transportation problem is to encourage people to live in cities rather than suburbs or countryside. Do you agree or disagree?

People have many different views about the method which is likely to tackle issues related to

traffic

and

transportation

. Many believe to solve these problems is to encourage the public to live in urban areas rather than suburbs or rural areas. In my opinion, I strongly disagree with

this

idea

due to

the following reasons. First and foremost, a large number of citizens settling down in big downtown usually lead to

traffic

congestion. Indeed, streets have tons of vehicles ranging from public transport systems to private ones.

As a result

, inhabitants of cities always deal with

traffic

jams in rush hours especially.

According to

a survey by the International VnExpress newspaper, more than 90% of streets in the large metropolis are overcrowded from 5pm to 7pm on a daily basis.

Furthermore

, citizens who live in the centre tend to consume private means of

transportation

including cars and motorbikes apart from buses and express trains.

Subsequently

, there is a significant growth in air and water pollution

due to

emissions from vehicles.

Consequently

, residents are at a higher risk of suffering from serious health problems

such

as lung cancer and digestive diseases.

Therefore

,

instead

of governments recommending everyone inhabits cities, they should enhance the quality of

transportation

facilities or raise people’s awareness about travelling by public

transportation

in order to address

traffic

and

transportation

problems effectively. In conclusion,

although

living in urban areas have numerous advantages, it is quite difficult to resolve the

traffic

and

transportation

issue

due to

traffic

jams and pollution.
