Traffic congestion has been a one of the most serious problem for many metropolitan cities in modern society. I believe that urban traffic jam can be solved by encouraging people to use public transportation, alternative vehicle or developing other possible routes.
Using public transportation is one of the easiest, and the most economical way to reduce traffic disaster. There are many types of transportation serviced for the urban city dwellers. People can choose to take subway trains, buses, even yellow caps if they are in hurry.
Another suggestion for good traffic environment is make people to use alternative transportation. According to some recent research, most people who has their own car tend to drive in order to get their desirable place, even if it is close enough to walk. It is both waste of money and time going to some place where the car is not necessarily need. People can consider alternative vehicles such as bike, scooter, even skateboard.
The other possible solution for traffic congestion is developing other routes. For example, the city of Vancouver in Canada has a unique transportation service which is called ‘Sea Bus’. As you analogize from its name, it is a bus transporting passengers from land to land, across the sea. Formerly, there was a only one bridge connecting down town to other area, so that the heavy traffic congestion was a inevitable problem. However, the overall traffic-jam had been surprisingly reduced since this brilliant service was introduced.
Traffic congestion is the primary problem that the most of urban cities have faced in modern era. However, I believe that it is soluble matter via three idea mentioned above: encouraging people to use public services, finding alternative transportation source, and developing different routes.
