In major cities around the world, traffic congestion has become a serious problem. How can this problem be tackled? Give reasons and examples from your own experience
Cities worldwide are tackling the challenge of busy roads caused by traffic jams. Both the
Government
and the community play a major role in eliminating this
issue. Some of the solutions are, first,
improving public transport services and secondly
, increasing tax on automobiles.
Today, nearly 9 in 10 people
own a car and drive to work. Hence
, the number of vehicles in main towns all over the world is experiencing traffic problems. This
is because many people
have poor bus or train services in their areas. To solve this
puzzle, the government
must improve the frequency of busses

buses
For example
, instead
of the trains running every half an hour gaps, the government
should impose a rule that people
can only wait for 10 minutes for the next train. This
way, more and more people
will be encouraged to travel by trains or buses rather than driving their own cars
.
Secondly
, the government
could impose a high tax on cars
. Those who choose to use their cars
for personal use and commuting should be required to pay tolls and taxes every time there on the road. As a result
, most people
will avoid owning a car and stick to other modes of commuting. To illustrate this
, public transport fares can be reduced to as low as $3 dollars to invite more people
. This
is another best way to control the number of cars
on roads,
