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

Some people say that to tackle

traffic

and contamination issues, the costs of petrol should be raised. In

this

essay I will explain why I completely agree with

this

and what actions could be applied

additionally

. One way

this

would help is, If the price of gasoline was higher, less people would use their private cars and more would use public transport to commute to work. Buses are more efficient and convenient than private cars as a larger amount of people can ride a bus than those driving a car. Another positive consequence of

this

measure is that not only private cars, but

also

lorries will be less used to take products from one city to another, diminishing

consequently

contamination and

traffic

on roads and streets.

In addition

to

this

measure, the government could provide bicycles to commute to work.

For example

, many cities around the world offer

this

service to get to and from downtown to neighbouring towns, reducing the cause

traffic

jams and pollution significantly. Another primary strategy would be to increase the number of trains and rails as these are a much more convenient means of transport, which produce less fumes, noise and certainly would not make the

traffic

grow but diminish. In conclusion, increasing the cost of petrol is essential for the improvement of

traffic

and pollution problems.

This

,

however

, is not the only answer to

this

concern, providing alternative modes of transport for people and goods is significantly important to address every side of the situation.
