In this modern era ,commuting time for work and study has increased in comparison to the yester years. This attributable to a rise in private transport and the deteriorated conditions of public vehicles; however some viable solution can be taken to reduce this problem. This essay will shed light on both the causes and solutions in the ensuing paragraphs before making a final note .
Commencing with the reasons for a rise in travelling from to work place ,the first and foremost one is the increasing number of vehicles in the past few decades ;especially the private owned cars .T o be more precise ,due to competitive era the rates of vehicles has go down that is the reason now everybody seems to own a car; For this reason, day by day traffic is increasing on the roads; so spend more time to travel. Also, during peaks hours traffic moves at a snail 'pace ;what used to take 20 minutes earlier ,takes about 50 minutes now . Second cause is that the condition of public transportation. In the modern era, people cannot like to wait for buses and trains, so they do not travel in public transportation because of worse quality of these transport. As a result, for that reason everyone prefer to travel in their personal car.
To lessen the gravity of the situation, several methods can be implemented by the government. Initially, steps could be taken to improve the public transport. to explain it , this could be done by increasing the comfort and frequency of public transport and decreasing the fare. That way more people would be inspired to use the public transport. Another solution solution is that people should be motivated to do car-pooling by having HOV (High occupancy vehicle) lanes. Only those cars, which are fully occupied, are allowed to move on such lanes, because of which the traffic on these lanes moves faster. Such a system is being used very successfully in many parts of the USA, for instance.
To recapitulate ,although various reasons such as an exponential rise in private owned vehicle and poor service of government transport lead to increase travelling time from people's home to desired places ,yet by introducing an improved public transportation and instigating individuals for car -pooling ,this problem can be mitigated.
