Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are now ‘one big traffic jam’. How true do you think this statement is? What measures can governments take to discourage people from using their cars?
The rapidly rising numbers of car owners over the past three decades have turned cities all around the globe into one big traffic jam. I personally think that this statement is true due to the fact that with the increasing number of people who own a car, more cars will be driven on the streets. To overcome this issue, the government should provide public transportation services for people to transfer from one place to another.

Concentrating more resources on economic growth than other sectors such as health, study and the environment is rampant in some nations. The main benefits of this are more employment opportunities and a higher standard of living; however, the key drawbacks are more sick people and lesser quality of education.
