Troubling traffic

 As we well know, the city of Rome is one of the most visited cities in all of Europe for its history and culture that surrounds it, being the city with the largest number of fountains, taking into account the oldest public museum, the garden of Villa Borghese, being the capital of two states, is built on seven hills, concentrates the largest amount of historical and architectural assets, you can see the border of three countries. But mobilization in this city is a bit complicated and expensive if you like to get around by taxi, complicated and slow if you like to travel by bus or any other similar means. In addition, you will suffer great pollution by PM10 particles from the environment. So, do you still think that everything is beautiful in Rome? And also thinking about how complicated it can be to go there because of its bad transport service and also expensive, if it would be good to go?

Faced with these problems that make the city of Rome look bad, the idea is to improve these problems in order to provide a better quality of life mainly to its citizens and as a consequence also to those who visit this city. In the first instance, the idea is to use the same services that are currently managed but improved, making public vehicles such as bus, metro, tram and commuter train begin to be electric in order to mitigate the level of pollution and set an example for citizenship. But all this change cannot be done immediately because it would paralyze the city to a great extent and that would greatly affect its economy, as a first step the stations of each medium would have to adapt so that each of these vehicles is progressively adapted to operate electrically, and not with gasoline or diesel, the next step to be taken would be to adapt new routes so that the public service has greater coverage and after having improved the vehicles and routes, and finally, slightly increase the number of these vehicles so that more people use them for transportation.

Among the basic ideas of this project is to reduce the problem and at the lowest possible cost, and after having planned it we can affirm that yes, because the investment would be made by the government and in the long term they would benefit a lot because people would start using public transport whose profits go to the government, the air quality in the city would be improved so that there would be fewer sick people. The people and the city would become more attractive to tourists by being cleaner than before and with better transportation service.
