As stated earlier, transport with no doubt has had a major influence on economic and social development facilitating the movement of goods, people and ideas. Greater accessibility, mobility and communication has shaped the type of global society we live in today. But is there a cost? Clearly without any objections there is a cost. In any development money is needed to make more money.
I do not see this as a negative thing at all. The population has undoubtedly risen globally. Technology is advancing so; with more technology at hand obviously demand of goods and services is high. How can people be mobile to reach these demands? The answer is unlimited transport provided. Environmentalists focus so much on problems facing the environment; what about the benefits the environment gets. People need to move from one point to the other to supply goods or services.
The only thing that can reduce congestion is that more public transport is provided for example, I live in a neighbouring city to Northampton. To get to university first I used the train upto Northampton train station. From the station to Northampton University was my major problem because the bus always delayed thus reaching university late. The solution I tookwas to look for people who came from my home city so that we could share transport luckily I was successful. Now we are five of us doing car sharing. Car sharing is a good example to reduce congestion on roads, it is cost effective and reliable. Another solution is reliability of public transport so that people are not reluctant to use. This will reduce congestion as well as emission of destructive gases.
