People think that government should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles to solve environmental problems. Give your opinion.

It is often argued that in order to end environmental issues, the state should raise the

fuel

's

cost

for all

transportation

modes. I strongly agree with that statement because cars and other vehicles are the major contributors to air pollution and society prefer to

use

their own vehicles to travel rather than using public

transportation

due to the

cost

-efficiency. Most of air and water pollutions are produced from substances emitted from cars and motorcycles. Those substances can be produced in a greater amount depending on the number of

transportation

modes wandering on the road.

For example

, a recent publication by Cambridge University stipulated that there are at least 80% of the pollution in the country are resulted from the usage of

transportation

modes.

In addition

to the above, another reason why the government should consider to increase the money that needs to be spent by the citizens is the fact that they believe the

cost

of using private vehicles are far cheaper compared to

use

public transportations.

Consequently

, the amount of person who opts to

use

their private cars or motorbikes is greater than the citizen who prefers to

use

buses or trains in order to reduce their daily expense.

For instance

, a survey by the Indonesian Traffic Observer showing that there are at least 8 of 10 persons choose to travel to their office by using private

transportation

modes since the money they spend to buy the

fuel

for their vehicles are not so expensive than the price of the public

transportation

cost

.

Nevertheless

, the government should

also

consider reducing the

cost

of public

transportation

to encourage society to

use

buses and trains. In conclusion, the significant amount of environmental pollution is caused by the number of cars and motorcycles and the

cost

of

fuel

are cheaper than using public transportations.

Therefore

, I believe it would be prudent for the government to increase the price of

fuel

of cars and other

transportation

modes.
