Traffic Congestion

Several measures can be taken to reduce traffic congestion. Firstly, impose congestion charges and introduce car-pool lanes along congested roads. Then, fine a lone driver and charge a toll for low-occupancy private vehicles. High-occupancy private vehicles may be exempted from charges or pay a discounted fee. Next, improve public transportation. For public convenience, integrated ticketing systems need to be implemented. Subsequently, building covered pedestrian walks will reduce congestion.
