Every day traffic seems to get worse on our roads. How can we reduce the number of cars on our roads today? What alternatives can we offer car drivers?

The automotive industry has changed the world in a revolutionary way. No-doubt it has added extra comfort and luxury in our life, but has also slapped us with its bitter side i.e traffic. Now-a-days increasing traffic has caused concern for every government around the world and they are looking for alternatives.

Firstly, I think to reduce traffic, we have to educate people about its negative impact on our health. People should be taught how carbon monoxide emission from the cars affects us and reduces human friendly ozone layer. Moreover, the government should take hard steps like increasing registration cost and parking rates across the city. Apart from all this, car owners should have to pay extra luxury tax for using the luxury cars. On top of this, the government may consider moving parking areas out of the city circle; this may motivate people to use the alternatives.

Secondly, motorists should be encouraged to use some other environmentally friendly transportation like bicycles. They should also be aided with a subsidy on cycles to boost their use. Introduction of an effective and cheap public transport system can be used as the icing on the cake. Moving further, the government can give extra benefits to people, who do not own a car and can attract individuals towards public transport by announcing a lottery system for the users.

Summing up, I would say that considering their heath and future of this world, people should use the alternatives. I believe, only comfortable, luxurious and cheap public transport will be an effective way to deal with the cause.
