Question

Compare the following and give an example:

Transportation system and traffic jams

Answer 1

• As there is urbanization, cities grow. People migrate to these cities for jobs, education, etc.
• There is an increase in transportation systems too due to people travelling frequently from suburbs to cities.
• The public transportation system is not sufficient, and hence the number of private vehicles increases.
• This leads to an increase in traffic jams, and travelling time increases significantly. e.g., Although Mumbai has a well-developed transportation system, it is insufficient to fulfil the growing needs of people.
