If countries are serious about solving traffic problems, they should tax private cars very heavily and use the money to provide free or very cheap rail travel. To what extent do you agree?

It is argued that solving traffic congestion in some countries can be resolved by levying

tax

on private cars and providing citizens with free and affordable

rail

transport

. I strongly agree to applying

tax

on the purchase of vehicles for private use and would be providing supporting evidence in

this

essay. Concurrently, traffic congestion is a reason for the increase in pollution and accidents caused which can in turn be reduced with the help of allowing public

transport

access to everyone in cheap. Higher excise applied on cars would evidently increase

tax

for the economic growth

.

Accept space

.

The

tax

levied from

this

source can be used for building a stronger and punctual

rail

system. When more people accesses

rail

for

transport

, revenue increases from

this

source and government can use it for various other public development arenas.

For example

, India started implementing the duty for cars and the

tax

levied is used for providing cheap

transport

for people by

rail

. It is evident that high duty on cars will eventually curb the consumption and demand and

hence

reducing the lower number of wheels on the road. Lower traffic on the road would lead to lower accidents. In conclusion, it can be deduced that higher

tax

on private vehicles will lead to a stronger

rail

system which can be made cheaper by government.
