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?

It is true that many individuals believe that the

traffic

and vehicle issues can be best tackled as people are encouraged to settle down in urban areas rather than rural regions. Personally, I firmly disagree with

this

opinion

due to

various reasons. There are two key reasons why I oppose

this

view. The primary one is the seriousness of

traffic

congestion in cities. Despite a large number of public transportations used to commute every

day

, the figure for private vehicles still keeps rising as people believe that it is more convenient for them.

This

leads to

traffic

jams not only during rush hours but

also

at different times of the

day

.

For instance

, a study shows that about 80% of all streets in cities are overcrowded from 5pm to 7pm daily

due to

the increasing demand for travel. Another factor in my disagreement is that the more people settle down in developing places, the more pollution they have to deal with. With the soaring requirement for commuting, the air quality in big regions is now decreasing

day

by

day

which causes various diseases related to our respiratory system

such

as lung cancer.

For example

, an article in one press says that the atmosphere in Ho Chi Minh City these days is covered by a layer of fog, which is the polluted emission from all means of transportation. In conclusion, for the reasons I mentioned above, I am strongly convinced that moving to the cities is not recommended as the best idea to solve

traffic

problems.

Besides

, It is necessary for the government to figure out other appropriate measures to address

this

situation.
