Now a days, public transport prices are constantly increasing. Why do you think it is happening? How can this problem be solved.

#transport #prices
It has been observed nowadays that accessing public transit systems is becoming dearer with every passing day. There are obvious reasons for
this
;
however
, the solutions are available on hand which could make
this
 mode affordable. 
Firstly
, the constant rise in the tariff of fossil fuels has led to a steady increase in the fares of public travel. The oil is a non-renewable source of energy which once depleted cant be created.
For example
, according to research, owing to the petrol price rise, the London tube has increased its fares by 10 per cent every year.
Thus
,
such
 a hike in the prices of commodities used will ultimately lead to a price hike for public transport.
Secondly
, there is a huge upsurge in the population in big cities, to accommodate
this
 the law has to increase the expenditure on a variety of sources, primarily infrastructure and public transport. The increasing expense is
then
 retrieved from the public in form of an increase in fares for their use.
For instance
, the modernisation of city
buses
 in Mumbai has led to many exciting new features, like air-conditioning, touch screens. etc. but with the new features prices are now up by 15 per cent for
such
buses
. One of the solutions to
this
 problem is finding an alternative fuel source for mass travel. If the government can negate the overhead of the single most expensive part of public transport i.e, fuel, they can save a lot of money and pass on the benefit to the travellers. To illustrate, there is an increasing trend of electric
buses
 in India nowadays,
such
buses
 are environment-friendly as no pollution, and are quite cheap in the long run to the authority.
Thus
, it would solve the problem of fuel price fluctuations and the cost incurred to the authorities. In conclusion, I believe that public transportation is a quite essential part of a growing economy, whose rates have to be controlled to a greater extent by the government by deploying innovative measures.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
