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 from using their cars?

Over the past few decades, the standard of living of

has improved considerably.

Also

, it is now seen that they invest in luxury items more than ever before. Some

people

believe that car ownership has tremendously increased, thereby giving rise to problems of

traffic

jams. I partially agree with them, and

this

Linking Words

essay will elucidate my assertions in the upcoming paragraphs. Certainly, a surge in vehicle ownership is one of the reasons for

traffic

Use synonyms

blockages in the cities.

Moreover

Linking Words

, another reason is the lack of availability and affordability of public

transportation

Use synonyms

.

For instance

Linking Words

, there are cases where public means of

transportation

Use synonyms

are unavailable or too costly to use. So,

people

Use synonyms

prefer to take their own

cars

Use synonyms

while

Linking Words

travelling to these places.

Further

Linking Words

, in some countries, the roads are not wider enough to accommodate the

traffic

and ensure the smooth passing of vehicles.

For example

Linking Words

, in Mumbai city, because of the recent metro constructions, the roads have become narrower.

Thus

Linking Words

, availability,

as well as

Linking Words

affordability, and the condition of roadways are a couple of other reasons for the increase in

traffic

Use synonyms

jams over recent years. In my view, definitely, the government can play a vital role in reducing these blockages. If they promote the use of the public mode of

transportation

Use synonyms

by making it cheaper and affordable, they will surely be able to discourage

people

from using their vehicles.

Additionally

Linking Words

, the authorities must conduct campaigns and awareness seminars on the problems faced by the population

due to

Linking Words

the increased number of

cars

Use synonyms

on the roads. To cite an example, Mumbai is the world’s most polluted city.

This

Linking Words

is because its residents prefer to travel by owned

cars

Use synonyms

rather than public modes of

transportation

Use synonyms

due to

Linking Words

improper provision of facilities.

Thus

Linking Words

, the masses should be aware, and better quality of

transportation

Use synonyms

should be provided in order to discourage the usage of

cars

Use synonyms

.

To conclude

Linking Words

,

along with

Linking Words

the increase in car ownership, there are other reasons as well for

traffic

jams. It is the need of the hour for the government to take appropriate actions so that we know about the problems and ourselves feel encouraged to work toward resolving

this

concern.
