Rush hours *means/refers to* period of *heavy* traffic.

Talking about living in a big city

Are parts marked by asterics correct?

Rush hours *means/refers to* period of *heavy* traffic. I have to take the subway every day. People need automobiles *for commuting* to work, *for shopping*, *for going somewhere.* This is the most comfortable way for most people *of* /*for* moving from place to place. Even if I need to park for 10 minutes, (I mean it doesn't matter how long you park for. You still have to pay the fixed amount)it's better to pay for half an hour parking because of *(the)*fine that/which* could be much more expensive/ *much higher* than *the* payment *of*/ *for* *the* parking. Drivers have to pay *money" for gasoline and they aren't happy that the price is rising.

I think it should be "the fine that" not "the fine which."

Try:

Rush hour is that time of day when the traffic is especially heavy either because so many people are going to work or because so many people are getting off work and going back home.

The sentence about the subway seems out of place.

Perhaps:

People use their cars for commuting, for shopping, for this and that.

Perhaps:

People feel most at home in their car rather than on the subway or the bus

 

[Tarheel]

Perhaps:

Even if I only need to park for ten minutes I will put a half hour on the meter.

 

[Tarheel]

Perhaps:

Using their personal car is the most comfortable way for most people to move from place to place. (Or get around.)

 

[Tarheel]

Perhaps:

Even though you only need to park for ten minutes it's best to put 30 minutes on the meter so you don't get a ticket.

I mean "the subway is the most comfortable way for most people for moving from place to place." Does it still sound unnatural?
I changed the sentences below. Are they still wrong?
Even if I need to park for 10 minutes, it's better to pay for half an hour parking because of the fine that could be much higher than the payment *of*/ *for* *the* parking. (I am not sure if it should be of or for). Drivers have to pay *money" for gasoline and they aren't happy that the price is rising. (I think "money" is unnecessary.)

 

[Tarheel]

The "subway" sentence makes a rather abrupt appearance.

Try:

Even if I only need to park for ten minutes, I put 30 minutes on the meter so I won't get a ticket and have to pay a fine.

Bedtime!

You could say people take the subway to get where they need to go. Why? Next to walking it's the cheapest mode of travel.

I think comfort is pretty far down the list as to why people take the subway. (I could be wrong, but I don't think so.)
