Traffic in expressway

Today was doing a deep thinking while travelling in a two wheeler in the expressway. It was with massive, auto-imobilisive traffic except for two wheelers. Bike riders were doing their circuit practise in between two big row of cars and was facing challenges whenever a car was not standing on the middle of the road. Why so many people decide to go to office in the same time as mine?Why people choose car when travelling alone?Why people take taxi knowing very well that they will reach an hour late compared to the time taken to travel in MRT?
Can Governement/LTA do something about this? Widening the road doesnt help much and even if there happens to be another lane, its going to be filled up with bmws, chevys, hyundais, hondas and toyotas. Worst thing I saw today was an ambulance waiting for a long time even after it had its emergency lights on. Can there be a rule like1. A car to travel in expressway should contain minimum of 4 passengers2. A taxi to travel in expressway should contain minimum of 2 passengers excluding the driver3. A bus/van or minibus to travel in expressway should contain 3/4th seats occupied
Will this help reduce traffic?
