The best way to solve the traffic congestion in the city is to provide free public transport 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Personally, I believe this
decision could help, and I even have an example. Moscow previously had severe traffic
problems. A few years ago the government started to expand public transport
networks in the city. Therefore
, dozens of metro stations have opened since that time, and buses'
routes were changing for people’s convenience. Fix the agreement mistake

Moreover
, there is a night schedule, so it allows people not to call a taxi and create more traffic
. As a result
, traffic
in Moscow significantly decreased, and citizens noticed the situation on the roads had become better.
However
, some argue that such
a system would not be effective in certain countries. For instance
, in the USA, public transport
is not as popular due to
cultural preferences, mindset, and geographical considerations. Americans tend to prefer using their personal cars, not just for long-distance travel, but also
for daily activities in their local area.
In conclusion, I would like to say that we have already had many successful examples of applying this
system in large cities. Therefore
, I believe that providing free public transport
could be an effective solution to reduce traffic
congestion.Submitted by ddoiron on
