In some countries, the government has tried to reduce traffic. For instance, they imposed a congestion tax during rush hour. Do you think this development is positive or negative?

Traffic

issues have become increasingly severe for

people

nowadays, and some governments have taken some measures to deal with

this

problem. I believe that

this

is a very positive trend. In order to mitigate

traffic

problems

, some measures taken by the

government

are proved to be effective,

such

as imposing a congestion tax and improving the number of buses. If the public has to pay for the congestion tax during rush hour, they are likely to choose public transport like the

bus

and the underground in order to avoid paying the tax, which could significantly reduce the number of private

cars

, alleviating the

traffic

congestion.

Moreover

, it is common to see that adding more

bus

routes is

also

a useful way to address

traffic

issues.

For instance

, some

people

prefer driving private

cars

because they can drive to their destination directly rather than transferring to different

bus

stops. If the

bus

routes could be designed more practical, some

people

do not need to drive their

cars

because they can take the

bus

conveniently, contributing to addressing the

traffic

problems

. For another, the

traffic

has brought lots of negative impacts on

people

’s lives.

For example

, we waste lots of time commuting. If the

government

do not take actions to solve these

problems

, we will suffer from

traffic

issues continuously as the number of

cars

is increasing, which will impede the personal and economic development, lowing the efficiency of working and producing.

However

, introducing some measures by the

government

will avoid

such

severe consequences. In conclusion, solving

traffic

problems

by the

government

is effective, beneficial for both

people

and our society.
