One of the most important problems in my town is the heavy traffic. Montcada is crossed by three regional roads, two rivers, two motorways and three lines of train. These are many obstacles for the daily transport. Just in one of these roads there are 50,000 cars per day.
More than 18,000 people are moving from and to my town for work or studies every day. However, the costumers of the bus are less than 25,000 monthly. The private car is being used daily by too many people. The roads are absolutely crowded at rush hour. Although people are pressed by time and there are little accidents almost every day, they don’t choose to leave the car at home.
However, the solution isn’t to extend the roads. Probably we will be able to improve this issue with an important increase of public transport. More train-convoys might run at rush hours. Furthermore the frequency of buses can be increased. Can you imagine all the people leaving your car at home? The current public transport can’t be able to move so many people. I think the problem is not the price even though a better planning by the companies of public transport will be done.

Yours faithfully,
I agree with this letter, usually towns settled in strategic places are crossed by regional or national infrastructures. Sometimes they their citizens can't get use of them, and lacks in public transportation are usual in most of towns from Barcelona metropolitan region. So people rather get the car instead of long waitings in a crowed station.
