In order to solve traffic problems, governments should tax private car owners heavily and use the money to improve public transportation. Do the advantages of such method outweigh the disadvantages?
Nowadays, many people claim that the
increase
in car
ownerships tax
and using this
money
to upgrade public transportation should be performed by governments. Although
there are some negative aspects of this
decision, there are compelling reasons as to why this
is overall a desirable trend.
On the one hand, there are some drawbacks to the increase
in private car
owners' tax
. The main shortcoming is that citizens must spend money
on car
tax
. This
plays an important role as a factor contributing to decreasing the household budget. As a result
, people suffer from stress-related problems because of the increase
in financial pressure. Another disadvantage is that the reduction of business activities related to cars such
as repairing cars and trading petroleum. This
stems from the limit of using private vehicles by citizens. The salient, most examples of this
that the amount of money
from trading, petroleum drops to 20 % in case the vehicle number declines to 10 %.
On the other hand
, it seems to me that the taxing of heavily private ownerships is necessary because of some undeniable benefits. Firstly
, it is an apparent fact that the increase
in car
tax
makes citizens use public transports. It is vital for people to protect environments. This
is caused by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions such
as CO2, CH4, and NO2 from private vehicles. According to the statistics of environmentalists, 30 % of total emissions will reduce if 20 % of the population uses public transports. Another advantage could be that the money
from the private car
tax
car
tax
can use to improve traffic systems, including building roads and bridges. This
makes it easier for citizens to travel. As a result
, this
also
contributes to reducing traffic congestion during peak hours.
In conclusion, there are some minus points for taxing of private vehicles. However
, it seems to me that its advantage would be more important.Submitted by trtthang on
