In the modern world, private
cars
have increased so dramatically over the past 30 years leading to heavy
traffic
congestion in several cities in the world. From my perspective,
this
statement is true. I strongly think that there are many reasons

that government should have measures and the following examples will be provided in order to support my point of view. The measures which governments can take to help reduce the use of private

include providing public transport and working from

This
leads to a significant reduction in the number of vehicles on the road during rush hours, which in turn helps alleviate
