The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing the need for people to travel from home for work, education or shopping. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Although reducing the distance between home and other necessary places has an impressive impact on decreasing the amount of traffic especially in big cities, I do not think this is an only way. Discussing the title of approaches to reduce the traffic, includes varies various aspects and factors. First of all, public transportation plays an important role in this regard. Developing public transportation and encouraging people to use it, lead to reducing traffic jams, numbers of personal cars, and air pollution. However, using public transportation should be convenient to be accepted by most groups of people. If they had to stand on crowded trains or buses or confront different obstacles to find stations or terminals, they would prefer their own vehicles. Encouraging people to use bicycles or walk is another way. Providing bicycle stations in every corner of the city alongside special roads, and preparing a simple mechanism to use them can be really helpful. It also needs culture development so that people choose these other ways for commuting. Alongside the other approaches to reduce the amount of traffic, unfortunately decreasing the travel rate in the city will not be easy. Nowadays by improving technologies and developing online businesses, many unnecessary communications physical presences can be cut/avoided. Shopping, money transferring, educating and so many other daily errands can be done by pressing a button behind via your laptop. However, many people may not have not access to these technologies or they are not able to use them. To sum up, reducing daily communication travel or commuting is not easy despite the burst of technologies. Moreover, decreasing the requirement of travelling is not the only option in order to reduce traffic jams.
