#price #petrol #traffic #pollution #measures
Today, there are many challenges in front of humankind, which need to be sold by hook or crook. Out of many, two problems are growing number of vehicles on roads and air quality control are raised due to increase in population. I do not agree with the given opinion about the hike in the price of petrol as, it is not the only one option to solve these issues.
On the other hand
, intense use of public transportation and strict rules about
pollution
 control are
also
 effective to limit traffic and harmful gases in the air.

Suggestion
In

then
 most of public use that for the daily transportation. In
such
 case, private vehicles will be reduced on the road which will positively affect the both challenges. Along with frequency of buses or trains, comfort and speed should be raised to attract more passengers.
Secondly
, the
pollution
 can be controlled by efficient engines of vehicles and little bit awareness about use of it. The government has implemented the policy to check exhaust guess by PUC certificate for all types of vehicles which make sure about the efficiency of the engine.
However
, personal vehicle cannot be reduced to zero, but some precautions like turn off vehicles at traffic light and sharing of cars among colleagues are few basic cares which can help to limit
pollution
 level. All in all, increase in uses of mass transportation in advancement in vehicle along with infrastructure is effective to control traffic and
pollution
. As, increase in the cost of oil
also
 returned with a boost in cost of daily routine which might be not affordable for lower middle-class families.
