Due to exponential infrastructural developments in various cities, traffic management has become a pivotal subject in
recent times. This challenge can be fought by limiting the usage of vehicles by people for their office, shopping and study
related work. While this practice initially might seem to be less than favorable, there are plethora of benefits that cannot
be overlooked.
One of the key actions to mitigate traffic related issues in cities might be by promoting public transportation. As a result
of this, there will be lesser vehicles on roads as people will share public transportation services. For example, being the
second largest city in the United States, San Francisco offers public transport in the form of a metro at very economical
fare which helps the authorities to manage the downtown traffic significantly.
However, on the other end, number of individuals staying in per square kilometer is rapidly growing in the urban areas.
Thus, even after adopting the best inbreed city planning schemes, within few years, communities feel congested and
traffic related challenges resurface. So, to combat such concerns, we should take required measures on how travel needs
of people can be reduced.
Furthermore, by facilitating people with various online internet based services like e-commerce and online distance
learning will reduce the number of individuals going out for their errands. To illustrate, a recent survey in Mumbai by the
Times of India newspaper showed that 64% of the Mumbai population prefer online services rather than paying a special
visit to opt such services.
To conclude, although there is an option to provide economical public commuting services to reduce the volume of
traffic in the city areas, the best meaningful and feasible practice is to make online portals available for people to buy
daily routine items and services.
