Urban traffic is becoming more and more problematic in China as people now have the purchasing power to buy automobiles. Thousands of vehicles are added to the streets of Beijing alone each month. It has worsened as China develops and private ownership of vehicles becomes the dream of every family. This increase in vehicles is creating a large problem as traffic jams increase, causing in many cases traffic on roads to come to a standstill . This will influence the quality of life for many urban dwellers. The sign of their prosperity has now become a burden. The answer to these traffic problems could come in many ways. The coordination and diversification of public transport, such as buses and rail, could give an option so that fewer people would purchase their own automobiles. It should be obvious that detailed traffic planning is needed, as these solutions may in many respects add to the traffic congestion. Buses, for example, cause problems with their large size. Also, the fact is that they repeatedly stop during their routes. Subways and light rails are limited because their stations cannot cover every part of a city. The facilities that manage these goals need to be provided and more money should be allocated to fix these urban problems.

由于人們具備了汽車購買力，中國(guó)城市的交通問題變得越來越嚴(yán)重。北京大街上的機(jī)動(dòng)車每月以數(shù)千輛的速度增加。隨著中國(guó)的發(fā)展，每個(gè)家庭都?jí)粝霌碛兴郊臆?，這個(gè)問題已變得日益嚴(yán)重。隨著交通堵塞情況的增多，機(jī)動(dòng)車數(shù)量的增加引發(fā)了很大的問題，在很多情況下導(dǎo)致路面交通陷入癱瘓。這將對(duì)眾多城市居民的生活質(zhì)量產(chǎn)生影響。他們富足的標(biāo)志已經(jīng)成為了他們的負(fù)擔(dān)。交通問題的解決方案有很多種。公共交通的相互協(xié)作和多樣化，比方說公共汽車和鐵路都可以作為一種選擇，這樣想要購買自己的機(jī)動(dòng)車的人就會(huì)變少。很明顯，由于這些解決方案會(huì)在許多方面加劇交通堵塞的情況，因此需要細(xì)致的交通計(jì)劃。例如，公共汽車因其體積大而導(dǎo)致問題。而且它們?cè)谶\(yùn)行的路線中不斷地停車。地鐵和輕軌有局限性，因?yàn)樗鼈兊恼军c(diǎn)不可能覆蓋城市的每個(gè)地方。政府需要提供設(shè)備以達(dá)到這些目的，并分配更多的資金來解決這些都市問題。
