Traffic congestion in large cities and the two proposed solutions for this ancient my opinion please Some people say that government should invest in trains and the subway system to prevent traffic congestion in large cities. Others , however, think it should build wider roads. Discuss both views and give your opinion with examples. Traffic congestion is one of the most eminent drawbacks to the modern life mainly in large cities which necessitates the governments to find out anyway to solve it .Calling for launching governmental investments in building subways and rail systems is one of the suggested ideas while the other suggestion is to plan for wider roads . In my opinion, each of these proposed notions is workable according to the circumstances of its implementation. Regarding to the first proposed solution, it is clear that it has many benefits. First , many countries have very limited space to build wide routes or even widen the existing ones .So , it would be quite workable to them to build underground underneath their overcrowded cities . Secondly, the unchallenged ability of rapid transit rail systems to transport a large number of people over short period of time to remote places makes it the most convenient public transportation facility mainly in densely populated cities like Shanghai and London.Finally, its positive impact on environment and energy resources as most of these lines use electric energy .In general, investment in subways and trains is the solution of choice for most of the metropolitan cities. The other proposed solution to the overcrowded traffic problem is to plan for wide routes .Despite the fact that this suggestion is not as advantageous as building railway lines,in terms of feasibility in overcrowded cities and environmental impact, it still has some positives .For example, it is cheaper to build roads than opening or rehabilitating new railway network. In addition, it doesn't require a sophisticated control . Moreover, the avoidance of subway related crimes is another reason behind this governmental choice .In fact, this choice is more suitable for less developed and poor countries . To sum up, the crisis of traffic congestion needs to be urgently solved .Despite the easiness of building wide roads for some governments, opening new underground and rapid transit rail is ,in my opinion, is enormously promising to solve this problem........................................................................................................................................................................................
