PUBLIC TRANSPORT TO BE FELT RELIABLE
The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes
many
problems, including serious air pollution,
lengthy delays, and the greater risk of
accidents. Clearly,
something must be done, but it is often difficult
to persuade people to
change their halls and leave their cars at home.
One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing
charges for parking and bringing in tougher' fines for anyone who breaks the law. In
addition,
drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of
the day. This system, known as 'road pricing',
is already being introduced in a number of
cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car.
Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get
people to give
up the comfort of their cars, public transport
must be felt to be reliable,
convenient and comfortable, with fares
kept at an acceptable level.
