Question
Compare the following and give example:
Transportation system and traffic jams
Solution
As there is urbanization, cities grow. People migrate to these cities for jobs, education, etc. There is an increase in transportation systems too due to people travelling frequently from suburbs to cities. Public transportation system is not sufficient and hence the number of private vehicles increases. This leads to an increase in traffic jams and travelling time increases significantly. e.g. Although Mumbai has a well-developed transportation system it is insufficient to fulfil the growing needs of people.
