Problems and Solutions of City Transport City transport consists of: Trams (public) – up to 300 passengers Buses (public) – up to 120 passengers Cars (private) – up to 5 people (most common) The main problem is heavy traffic in rush period. I think the solution is clear. People should use the public means of transport, because the people / space ratio is much better that way. People in about 24 cars would fit in only one bus. The environment would be better and there would be no heavy traffic that way.
