Answer keys

Rising traffic congestion is an inescapable condition in large and growing metropolitan areas across the world. It is said that the huge number of vehicles, and poor transport infrastructure are main reasons for increasing traffic jams. To solve this problem, governments should provide much better mass transit and charge cheaper prices for some people such as the old or students. It is also possible to apply congestion charge for every car that will go into a city centre in the rush hour.
