The best way for a government to solve the problem of traffic congestion is to provide free public transport 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Urban congestion is often treated as a fare problem, even though crowded roads usually reflect deeper failures in public transport capacity, land-use planning and car dependency. I disagree that free public transport operating all day and night is the best solution, because affordability matters but reliability, speed and restrictions on unnecessary driving matter more.
