Secondly, there are too many vehicles on the road such as cars, motorbike, bikes that leads to traffic jams. Finally, many roads are not only narrow but also bumpy.

To conclude
Suggestion:
public services such as health service, postal service cost a lot. This is because the development of big cites is faster and faster, these big cities become big economic centers of country.
price of food in big city is also much higher than in other area. Vegetables and fruits, which are really cheap in the villages, cost a lot in the urban area. This makes it difficult for people to consume healthy food.
it is not easy to live in a big city, especially for the poor and workers because they have to pay too much for public services while their salary is too low..
