Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above statement? What other measures do you think might be effective?

According to some people, the rise in

traffic

congestion and overgrowing

pollution

can be controlled by the increase in prices of fuel.

However

, I am of the opposing viewpoint and in

this

essay other possible solutions will be elaborated. In recent times, the

price

of

petrol

has increased rapidly. The

price

of

petrol

is connected to various other gears of the economy. Inflation rate increases with the upsurge of the fuel and with that there is a rise in the prices of other commodities. Lately, the

price

of the

petrol

has increased to Rs 114 in Pakistan from Rs 99 and it has caused

overall increase

Suggestion

an overall increase

of prices. The basic necessities have become much more expensive than in past five years. I believe, though the

price

of

petrol

has

rised but

Accept comma addition

risen, but

risen but

raised but

the consumption has not been changed. Every member of the family owns a car and uses it to commute from one place to another and it has raised

traffic

problems. Roads are blocked most of the times due to heavy

traffic

and inadequate space on the roads. The environment is getting polluted because of releasing energy from fuel and it is causing health issues. In order to overcome

traffic

and

pollution

problems, the public transport service should be improved so that people avoid using their personal transportation.

More public

Suggestion

Most public

buses should be provided with proper facilities and should be economical. With the improvised public transport, there will be less cars on the road which will ultimately lead to less

pollution

and congestion.

Furthermore

, proper rules and regulations should be set for road

traffic

. In conclusion, augmenting the

price

of

petrol

effects the various other aspects of

economy

Suggestion

the economy

and leads to inflation and it does not help in reducing

traffic load

Suggestion

the traffic load

and

pollution

. Providing better public buses and implementation of

traffic

laws will help in deterioration of polluted and congested environment.
