How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic
The urban traffic is getting
increasingly crowded nowadays in China. The roads are pakced with cars, bicylces
and pedestrians and traffic jams, bus delays and traffic accidents are a common
scene.
Then how to solve this problem? Some suggest to lay down more roads
to make the traffic less crowded and speed up the flow of traffic. Others
believe that we should open up more public bus routes, so that more people will
take the public buses instead of travelling by cars and bicycles.
Though
above two views sound reasonable, they have their own drawbacks. The fomer may
take up much land which could be used for farms and houses. The latter may cause
inconvenience for those who are used to travelling by car or bicycles. I think
the best answer to the traffic problem is a combination of the two. More roads
can be built to hold more traffic and meanwhile more public bus routes can be
opened up to those who prefer to use the public transportation.
