tokens: Way to reduce the amount of traffic? Big cities nowadays can be described as melting pots . The problem off traffic overload, caused by overpopulation, has aroused interest of many city planners . It is argued that only if the demand to go out on the street is cut down can we solve the seemingly insurmountable issue of traffic gridlock . However, I have to profoundly disagree for there are still two viable solutions besides besides this way . First of all, public transport is a key factor to minimize the number of vehicles on the street . Buses and trains have been phased in the streets for quite a long time and have proven themselves the best candidates among all options . Apparently, a bus can carry no less than 30 people, while a train can carry as much as nine or even ten times of that number . Not to mention the fact that highway train is operated underground, which leaves the street above with buses and non-fuel-based vehicles . Together, they will lessen the crowded image in most cities nowadays . Second, rarely do we realize the helpful existence of urban areas . It is believed that if some of the enormous shopping malls or universities were relocated in the commuter belt, the city street would be les burstling and overly-teemed as it is now . As a rule of thumb, huge centers of attention distributed equally in a wide region means that residential areas will come along thus exert less pressure on the public facilities . The city itself will be absolved of enduring the influx of immigrants as well as unemployed people . In conclusion, city planner can still opt for non-personal vehicle and the exploitation of the suburb areas . It is highly recommended to put forward such solution, especially in some developing countries like Vietnam or China, with the ever-growing demand for job or education .
