1. - I do consider that new forms of transportation would make our life better. In reality, you
can see that life in outer space has been talked about for a long time with the development of
modern new forms of spacecraft. I do think that in the future there're numerous new forms of
transportation that lead us to travel around the universe such as the Hyperloop which I'm
going to talk about.
- This technology refers to a high-speed train that is capable of covering longer distances in
less time. There are some advantages of this technology.
- First of all, it will enable people to travel longer distances without wasting time due to
traffic or slow speed. Secondly, this modern transportation is environmentally friendly as it
will be utilizing less fuel than other vehicles. Therefore, people won't be concerned about its
harm to the weather. Finally, Hyperloop's sustainability seems to be stable. According to the
study, I’ve read that the Hyperloop technology system runs on clean energy as there will be
no solar, wind power, carbon footprints, and no emissions but leads to a green life because
the system is built on an electrified mechanism.
2. In my area, we are facing traffic congestion. Our province carried out several solutions to
ease jams, some of which have been successful.
- Review traffic congestion hotspots and potential hotspots to adjust traffic management
accordingly and develop high-quality public transportation.
- The other measure is to enhance the application of information technology in management,
ensuring traffic safety and order, such as having a heavy fine for motorists who break traffic
laws by using traffic safety surveillance camera systems.
