Increasing the prices of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. to what extent do you agree or disagree? what other measures do you think might be effective?

It is true that in recent decades

gas

use has remarkably increased. In light of

such

growth in petrol usage, streets have become more crowded and the environment more polluted. To solve these issues, some think that charging extra for gasoline might help. In my view, increasing

gas

Use synonyms

's cost is a positive step but

also

is employing alternatives like driving electric vehicles and car-pooling. Increasing the charges for

gas

can itself improve traffic movement and environmental conditions.

This

Linking Words

is simply because, with higher fares, there are far more reasons to save money by driving less and driving only for important or far trips. In Sweden

for instance

Linking Words

, gasoline is very expensive, so citizens tend to ride bicycles

instead

to save money.

Such

an approach has placed Sweden in the top 10 clean and

pollution

-free countries. If petrol is cheap and constantly within reach, our planet's future will keep being in danger and our communities will grow even more crowded.

Therefore

Linking Words

an increase in prices will not only refrain drivers from using more

cars

but

also

Linking Words

will help our environment stay clean.

In addition

to elevating fuel prices, other approaches

such

as electric motors and car-pooling can be a golden solution. Using wagons that function with electricity will spare the toxic gases like carbon monoxide,

hence

the severe

pollution

. Taking the U.S.A

for example

, they have started driving Elon Mask's Tesla electric vehicles and in some states like Illinois,

pollution

has greatly fallen. If it wasn't for that invention, humanity's rate of environmental damage would have been much greater. Alongside electric

cars

, car-pooling can

also

be an effective measure to reduce

pollution

and traffic jams by almost half. Car-pooling is when a group of people have similar destinations so they share one car and its

fare

instead

of each one of them driving his own.

Such

measure encourages people as it's cost-saving and more comfortable. In Egypt

for example

Linking Words

, for the sake of the streets and environment, a mobile application called "ride together" has been recently launched to incentivize people to drive fewer

by sharing theirs.

Pollution

and traffic jams can, not only harm us in the short term by decreasing our quality of life but

also

in the long term by leaving our planet unfit for future generations.

This

Linking Words

is why a combined effort in reducing

pollution

Use synonyms

by using less petrol through sharing

cars

Use synonyms

and driving electrical ones, will surely be effective. In conclusion,

although

Linking Words

automobiles are very important nowadays, I strongly agree that their usage should be limited. With higher fuel fees, car owners will be encouraged to drive non-petrol non-polluting

cars

Use synonyms

and share rides, which will altogether lead to a decline in transport jams and environmental
