Traffic jam

Topic: Traffic is developing rapidly all round the world at present, what are the traffic problems in your country? What causes these problems? Make some recommendations.

Along with the development of society more and more problems are brought to our attention, one of which is that traffic issue. Transportation has been increasing worldwide, especially in large cities. Personally, I hold that traffic jam is a big problem in my hometown. My arguments for this point are listed as follows.

First, we can observe easily that the number of vehicles is rising sharply. Nowadays, people in my country get higher salary than decade. That is the reason why more and more people become car owners. As the proverb goes: “Every coin has its two sides”, traffic develop has both advantages and disadvantages. Traffic jam is one of disadvantages in the city.

In addition, the number of public transportation is not enough for commuter. People crowd in the bus, especial students. The experience in the crowded public transportation is not easy to forget for students in my country.

The main recommend is that government should be limited the number of private cars in urbane area. For instance, government should add traffic tax. There is another recommend that deserves some words here. The government should increase public transportation more than now. Government should give dwellers cheaper and more convenient public transportation than private vehicles.

It is difficult to get the conclusion that there is a serious traffic jam in my country. Government should be responsible the issue. The public transportation should be subsidized by government. Another suggestion is that government should take more tax from car owner. We can improve the traffic jam by decreasing the number of vehicle and increasing public transportation.
