No More Traffic Jams

       There is nothing worse than being trapped in your car, waiting in the
middle of a traffic jam. It is frustrating, knowing that there is nothing you
can do and that you are going to be late to work. Traffic jams often occur
during rush hour or right after a large event because there are more cars
on the road than normal. Traffic jams can also be caused by car
accidents or road construction. They usually occur on major roads that
many people use to travel to work or school. Traffic jams are a problem
because they make people late for work or school, they can cause car
accidents, and they are frustrating. How can we reduce the number of
traffic jams? Possible solutions include carpooling or using public
transportation. The best way to solve traffic jams is by using public
transportation because it will be efficient, economical, and reliable.

       First, using public transportation is efficient. A bus is a very efficient


way to move lots of people from one place to another using only one
vehicle. Instead of having one vehicle for each person on the road,
busses take many cars off the road as people ride together. Trains are
even more efficient at reducing the number of cars on the road. Because
trains have their own dedicated rail system to get people around, all of
the cars are eliminated without adding any more traffic to the roads. Not
only are busses and trains more efficient at carrying passengers, but
time spent on a bus or a train is more efficient for the passenger. This
encourages more people to use public transportation. It is easy to see
how efficient public transportation is and the impact that it has on
reducing traffic.

       Another reason that public transportation is the best solution to


traffic jams is because it is so economical. People want to use public
transportation instead of driving their own car because they can save
money. Public transportation usually does not cost very much, especially
for people who use it often. There are discounts for seniors and
students, which makes it an even more economical way for these groups
to travel around town. Using public transportation also eliminates the
need to pay for parking, car insurance, and car maintenance, not to
mention gasoline. All of the expenses related to owning a car are
replaced with one simple fare. Because it is so economical, public
transportation is a good solution to traffic jams by encouraging more
people to travel together and reduce the number of cars on the road.

       Finally, public transportation is the best solution because it is


reliable. Many people set up carpools to reduce traffic, but this is only a
temporary solution. Every time someone has a change in their schedule,
the carpool needs to be adjusted. For example, if someone has to go to
the doctor or sleeps in, the carpool will not work that day. If someone
changes jobs or transfers to a new school, the carpool will need to be
adjusted again. Public transportation, on the other hand, is more reliable.
The bus and train schedules don’t change every time that one rider
needs to go to the doctor. The schedules are set and people can plan on
them. People who use public transportation will find that it is reliable and
can help limit the number of cars on the road.

       Because it is efficient, economical, and reliable, public transportation


is the best way to reduce the number of traffic jams. There are other
possible ways to address this problem, but using public transportation is
clearly the best. Traffic jams during very busy hours on the road can be
reduced and more people can get to work on time and avoid the
frustration caused by sitting in the middle of a long line of cars. Cities
and governments should consider ways to improve their public
transportation system and encourage more people to use it. If they do,
they will surely see fewer traffic jams on their roads and much happier
drivers.
