y of goods under better conditions. This example form BBC sport shows how the traffic is causing a major problem, talking about the 2003 World Championships, 'those driving to the Stade de France experienced traffic problems throughout the championship but maybe they only had themselves to blame as organisers had warned from the start that public transport was the better option.' 3. It seems that the option of travelling by public transport is the easiest to move about in Paris, however people are still using cars and the problem is increasing, from the numbers in the graph below it is evident that for such a relatively small capital city, Paris is drowning in traffic congestion.
             To receive an accurate account of the problems caused from the traffic congestion in Paris, it is helpful to look at the amount of transport which is currently evident throughout France today.

             This graph is taken from the National Transport Survey for France and we can see that that number of passengers travelling on the public rail service has increased, but not by a large amount and from the results, which unfortunately only reach to the end of 2003 when this survey was completed, the levels have not risen dramatically through 2003 so the number may not increase. If the government has been placing new policies and projects to increase the publics' use of public transport then we can see from the small increases that they haven't been very productive.

             This graph shows the number of vehicles on the road per kilometre, the graph indicates that the numbers of vehicles are steadily increasing which obviously points to the conclusion that there are more cars on the road, this pattern is continuing through 2003 and most probably has continued on to 2004 also.
