Have you ever been in traffic jam? For those who live in big city like Kuala Lumpur will understand how much unbearable to wait in the car for hours while the destination is not too far. Luckily, I was born where traffic jam is once in a blue moon. So, I don’t really understand. Only after I worked in Kota Kinabalu I got the feeling. It’s so easy to see the real face of Malaysian here. People shouted, yelling and screaming thinking they are the only one who get upset. No wonder Malaysian listed as one of the most rude people.

I always believe there are cure for every problem. For problem like this, people itself have to do something so we will end up happy without stuck in the middle of the road. One good way is to use another road that available to get the destinations. I believe there are many roads had been built by government to any particular place. First of all, we have to hear traffic report which deliver by some of radio station like Hot Fm, Era Fm and other. So, we can avoid ourselves from that traffic jam and saves our time especially our way to work place. So, there will be no reason for us to come late to office.

Another way is by using public transportation. It’s hard to believe that we have so many transportations provided especially in big cities and it’s easy to find one. In Kuala Lumpur we have various type of public transportations such as Monorail, RapidKL, LRT, and taxi. The good thing is all of them are not too expensive and everyone can afford to ride it. By using this way, we can reduce the number of car or transport on the road. In addition, we can save more money because we some of them using ticket for a whole day like Rapid KL. It is so cheap for student like me.

Another way of reducing this problem is by sharing transport. Maybe this way is a little bit complicated because sharing something like this need much tolerance. But for people like husband and wife, siblings, parent and child and friend, I think no need to have everyone have their own car in a house because it’s just another waste of money. Just like using public transportations, sharing a car can reduce the number of vehicle on the road. Besides, owning a car will cost more money to buy the fuel, services, toll and many more. By sharing a car, all of people involve can pay all those stuff together.

In my conclusion, there are a lot of things we can do to stop or at least reduce traffic jam. People keep on complaining about it but they don’t take any action on it. So, taking any one of all the suggestions I mentioned will help.
