Drivers losing five days a year to traffic jams

According to this article. US drivers lost 38 hours per year of their precious time.Because of too many cars,too many people, and too small organized system, this situation happened. Besides, this traffic problem has bad influence not only for drivers but also US economy. The waste of workers' time and oils raise about $78 million. For individuals and this society, we should solve this problem.

In my opinion, American society should have more ways to transport. In Japan, we have a good system of buses and trains, but even so we have traffic jams, which are not as terrible as the US. Also, there are many good points of reducing car population, for example, the decreasing of traffic accidents and people can do more exercise. Now, the US government should encourage people to take buses or trains for business, while that is not so efficient for business.
