WHAT CAN WE DO?

Have you ever stayed stuck in a terrible traffic?If so,you can understand what people feel when they have to reach a place immediately.My hometown,Ankara, is a perfect place with its social activities,parks and shopping centers,but recently it has been experiencing a serious transportation problem.Then,what are the factors that cause the problem of transportation in Ankara?There are three main reasons which make this problem worse and worse.

The first reason,I think the most important one,People prefer to use private cars instead of using public transportation.People migrate to ankara,which is the second developed city of Turkey to take advantage of job oppurtunity.This means that there are too many cars whose number is almost equal to the number of people.As a result,transportation problem is increasing day by day.

Another reason is improper parking.People park their cars on the streets due to excessive parking fees.This leads to traffic jam in the mornings and evenings when everybody tries to reach his/her work,school or house.Improper parking narrows roads,so cars and buses have to slow down in order to give way to the another car.

The last reason is lack of underground lines and buses.People living in Ankara have been suffering from this problem every day.people who are lucky to get on a bus generally stay without seat.when they arrive their work or school,they have already got tired due to standing for hours.This causes concentration disorders and inefficiency.

To summarize,Ankara is a developed and modern city except for its transportation problem.If you want to live in Ankara,you shouldn't ignore this problem.We can help reduce this problem using public transportation instead of private cars.this solution not only contributes to reducing traffic jam,it also contributes to reducing air pollution.
