For an example pedestrian accidents has been increasing in past decades in Sri Lanka. As a solution for that we could use public transport methods. If 100 car drivers use public transport, then their will be around 100 vehicles cut down from the traffic. But transport following passengers need only three or four buses only.

This projects are very expensive and time consuming. But still we have facing traffic jams even in highways.
