Increasing price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree?

It is increasingly evident that traffic

pollution

major problems many societies face. A great

number

of people believe that hiking the

price

of fuel is the best way to address

this

problem and I totally agree.

Firstly

, the idea of increasing the

price

of gas to address

air

pollution

and

road

congestion

produces good results. An increase in the

price

of petrol would lead to a reduction in the

number

of cars on the

road

, thereby reducing traffic

congestion

as well as decreasing

air

pollution

because most commuters would prefer to use other alternative forms of transportation like buses, trains rather than pay through their nose for fuel.

For instance

, Finland hiked gas prices in 2019 and reported a 30% reduction in traffic

congestion

.

Secondly

, by spiking the

price

of petrol,

air

pollution

will be cut down and the health of the citizens will be better for it. The amount of greenhouse gasses emitted from larg

as lung cancer, pneumonia, asthma, all of which are life threatening. An example is in Seoul, South Kore
