to each of the questions.
The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems, including
serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often

particular routes at different times of the day. This system, known as 'road pricing', is already being introduced in a
number of cities, using a special electronic card placed on the windscreen of the car.
Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly control the
number of vehicles allowed into the center. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for the final stage
of their journey.
Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to give up the comfort

level.
