Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are now "one big traffic jam" How true do you think this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people form using their cars?

Boost in vehicle possession in urban areas has been observed for the

last

3 decades.

This

situation

has created "one big

traffic

jam" globally. I agree with

this

statement to a great extent.

Government

should encourage people to avoid using personal cars using various ways. The principal reason to support

this

statement is that a huge number of cars create a deadlock

situation

on the road.

This

is to say that,

growing crowd is returning back to their home. Not to forget any special occasions or festivals when a similar

situation

is seen on the roads.

Moreover

,

this

can be a hindrance to urgent

traffic

like emergency vehicles. Take an ambulance

for example

, patients are not being able to reach the hospital on time

due to

an ambulance van stuck in

traffic

.

This

is getting worse in today's age and time. Undoubtedly,

this

situation

can be controlled if the

government

takes proactive measures. First of all, they should make public transport more reliable and convenient.

This

way citizens will prefer not to use their own cars but

instead

travel through buses or metros.

For instance

of the metro in metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai has contributed to 20% less

traffic

on the road. To add to

this

, more applications for carpooling should be introduced. In

this

way, colleagues can share the ride on their way to the office.

To sum up

, I agree that myriads of difficulties are being faced

due to

the usage of personal automobiles in urban areas which can be solved with the help of the

government

. More and more people should abandon the idea of travelling solo.

Government

should come up with alluring alternatives to motivate people for
