A series of steps • Suggest the easiest and most obvious solution first, but if that doesn’t
work, try something else, etc.

practice social distancing, you might first talk to him/her; if that

the police.)

Finally, public transportation is the best solution because it is reliable. Many people set up carpools to reduce
traffic, but this is only a temporary solution. Every time someone has a change in their schedule, the carpool needs
to be adjusted. For example, if someone has to go to the doctor or sleeps in, the carpool will not work that day. If
someone changes jobs or transfers to a new school, the carpool will need to be adjusted again. Public
transportation, on the other hand, is more reliable. The bus and train schedules don’t change every time that one
rider needs to go to the doctor. The schedules are set and people can plan on them. People who use public
transportation will find that it is reliable and can help limit the number of cars on the road.
Because it is efficient, economical, and reliable, public transportation is the best way to reduce the number of
traffic jams. There are other possible ways to address this problem, but using public transportation is clearly the
best. Traffic jams during very busy hours on the road can be reduced and more people can get to work on time and
avoid the frustration caused by sitting in the middle of a long line of cars. Cities and governments should consider
ways to improve their public transportation system and encourage more people to use it. If they do, they will
surely see fewer traffic jams on their roads and much happier drivers.
