Increase Public Transportation
提高公共交通效率
Beijing is faced with an uphill battle to improve deteriorating air quality and alleviate traffic jams caused by the surge in car use. What is the best way to decrease the number of private automobiles on the road? In my opinion, developing sustainable public transportation strategies should be given top priority.
北京正在加緊提高空氣質量,減少交通堵塞狀況,這些都是因為汽車的增加而造成的。減少私家車的最有效途徑是什么呢?我認為,發展可持續性的公共交通是當務之急。
Firstly, a well-managed and punctual public transportation system makes commuting and travelling easier and more convenient. One big headache for private car drivers is the annoying traffic jams. However, some forms of public transport, such as subway, magnetically levitated train4 and light rail transit can help commuters and travellers avoid traffic jams, greatly reducing their time wasted on the road. Furthermore, by taking public transport, people will no longer be bothered by looking everywhere for a parking place. Therefore, a service-oriented and user-focused public transportation system will definitely attract more private car owners, making it possible for the car owners to keep their cars in the garage and choose public transport. Secondly, public transport serves as an economic alternative to cars. The Chinese government will provide a total of l.3 billion yuan to help Beijing's bus companies reduce fares to only l yuan per ride. The high oil price and auto maintenance cost deter car owners from driving their cars. Since public transport is so cheap, there should be no economic reason to drive a car in the city.
首先,運行良好的公共交通體系將會使出行和旅行更加簡單和方便。私家車主最頭疼的就是交通擁堵。但是,許多公共交通,例如,地鐵、磁懸浮列車、輕軌都會幫助我們的乘客避免交通堵塞,這將會大大減少出行的時間。此外,乘坐交通工具,人們將不再為停車而煩惱。所以,以服務為主題的公共交通體系將會吸引司機車主,這將會使私家車主不開汽車,而是使用公共交通出行。第二,比起私家車,公共交通更為省錢。中國政府已經投資了13億,這使得公交車的價格僅僅為每人一元。高油價和養路費將會阻礙人們開車。由于公共交通的廉價,我想,沒有人會再開私家車了。
In conclusion, public transportation should be given a strategic position in the city's sustainable development planning so as to reduce private car use and ultimately relieve the city's traffic jams.
總結,公共交通是一種策略性的方案,這會提高城市可持續發展的水平,這樣我們才能減少私家車的出行,并最終減輕城市交通堵塞問題。
