In order to solve traffic problems, governments should tax private car owners heavily and use the money to improve public transportation. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

In recent decades witnesses an increasing number of private vehicles on roads. To control governments can impose higher taxes on

car

owners and the collection of

this

tax

can be utilised to improve public commuting services. In

this

essay, I will discuss related advantages and disadvantages with

this

solution.

To begin

with, the negative effect of

this

solution, citizens are obliged to pay many taxes and if the government introduces another high

tax

to owning a

car

,

this

may create more burden on their budget and lifestyle.

For example

, in the present a Canadian citizen pays about 12% of his salary for the

tax

, In

this

case if governments in-force new

tax

on them, they might break-down and they will not be able to maintain their life standards.

As a result

, they would demand an increment in their salary to their employer, and will create a burden on the employer and they will not be able to sustain their good employees or they might compromise with profit margin. At the end,

this

will create economical pressure on governments itself. On the other side, there are many positive views of

this

implementation. Due to the higher

tax

on purchase and maintaining a

car

, many may think not to buy a

car

rather manage with public buses and trains.

As a result

, less traffic issues and reduces the effect on the environment due to carbon deposit from vehicles.

However

, personal vehicles may be mandatory for some profession.

For instance

, a doctor who works for trauma service, it has become compulsory to own a vehicle for managing emergency situations. As per law, he is obliged to pay

tax

for being a

car

owner. Collection of

this

tax

can be used to improve public transportations and in healthcare to improve their facilities. In conclusion,

although

it may create an extra burden on individuals and employers due to

this

tax

, it is more important to consider environmental and traffic issues which might be mitigated with

this

tax

law.
