Male Female

That's a really good question. I have thought about it before. I don't live in a very populated area, but when I was studying, I lived in the capital city of my country, and there was a lot of traffic. I think a really good strategy to decrease traffic would be improving public transportation services. We currently only have buses, but it would be a great idea to have a train system or maybe a subway. I think that would be the best idea. Another idea that could help is making broader streets and incentivizing carpooling, which would decrease the number of cars on the road and probably also help decrease emissions.
