Traffic congestion, while a sign of economic growth in Asia, leads to gridlocks and pollution, but solutions like efficient public transport systems, such as electric vehicles and metro lines, along with higher parking fees and fuel prices, can encourage a shift towards more sustainable transportation options.
As traffic gridlocks and vehicular pollution reach crisis levels, Asian governments must look for ways to encourage people to rely on public transport rather than their own cars and two-wheelers.
