Traffic jams

The severity of traffic jams in our country is at an alarming rate. The appropriate measures should be taken to reduce traffic jams in our country. In my opinion, there are several steps that can be taken to reduce traffic jams in our country.

The first step that can be taken is to upgrade the current public transport. The government plays a very important role in upgrading the public transport in order to provide better service to the passengers. As we are all aware that KTM service has been very poor. A major upgrade is essential in KTM service because KTM is regarded as the most important public transport compared to others. The number of people who are using KTM are much more higher compared to other public transport. The scenario that is taking place now is after a train reaches a platform, the next train takes a longer time to reach the platform. This has caused a lot of consequences where it has affected a lot of people. To make matters worse, the KTM fare have also been hiked. If the service provided is first class, is is worth it to pay a higher fare but since the service has been poor, it is really unfair to those passengers. The government should take appropriate measures in improving the public transport in order to reduce the severity of traffic jams.

One of the reason of traffic jams is because of increase in the number of cars on the road. Since government has legalized Grab car and Uber, it has caused the number of cars on the road to increase drastically. One way, the government can rectify this situation is by limiting the number of Grab car and Uber driver. The chance of being a Grab car and Uber driver should not be an easy task, where they can just sign up and be a driver under Grab car and Uber. Instead, in order to become a Grab car and Uber driver, they should have to undergo an interview or driving test. Apart from government, a normal individual can also help in reducing traffic jams. A normal individual can help by car pooling. This is also an efficient way in reducing the number of cars on the road.

To conclude, the following that i mentioned above are some of the ways to reduce traffic jams in our country. Action should be taken earlier, in order to prevent traffic jams from getting worse.
