In many parts of the world, traffic jam is a major problem that adversely damages the residents. Many
people
 argue that the ideal method to address
this
 issue is providing public
transport
 at any time and at no cost.
However
, I believe that
this

Firstly
, providing available and free public

 cannot benefit all

, especially those who commute to work within a short distance.
Therefore
, there is no need for them to utilise public

 because it is inconvenient. As an exemplification, many countries have constructed plenty of devices to assist
this
 approach,
although
, they are still in the position that they began.
Moreover
, bringing more vehicles
such
 as trains and buses still has its own drawbacks. Some studies have revealed that the more buses and trains are being built, the more crime incidents happen. Specifically, in Japan, where public
transport
 is ubiquitous, the rate of criminals engaging in robbery and sexual abuse is much higher than

 countries.
Secondly
, if the government implemented
this
 system, many workers would lose their jobs. To epitomize,
people
 prefer taxis to public

 because they are cosier and more comfortable.
Therefore
, when
people
 start to use public transportation systems, many occupations can extinct and might lead to poverty, which is one of the most problematic factors in many countries.
Furthermore
, public
transport
 is inappropriate for busy individuals because it is time-consuming. In conclusion, providing free and available communal transportation might not

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
