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

It is undeniable that most of the countries are facing

traffic

congestion and air

pollution

issues all over the world,

therefore

, raising the prices of

petrol

has been a considerable

way

to solve those growing

problems

.

Although

high pricing of

petrol

is a good

way

to control the

problems

, I think that the government should tax for vehicles ,especially for private’s

cars

. On the one hand, despite it is a good

way

to solve to control the growing

traffic

and

problems

of

pollution

by raising the costs of

petrol

, it will affect all types of transportations including public transports

such

as buses.

For instance

, some

people

may need to commute every day in order to go to their works or some students need to use school buses to go to school. IF the price of

petrol

is high, those

people

who use public transport may need to pay higher fees for using that.

Therefore

,

this

way

may reduce the traffics and

pollution

issues,

however

, it can be affected on some

people

who use public transportation.

On the other hand

, I think that taxing the vehicles particularly in private’s

cars

by the governments might be effective in controlling

cars

on the rods and reducing air

pollution

. With the advance of technology,

people

easily brought so many

cars

with affordable prices and

as a result

, there are so many private

cars

which are more than the number of families in households. It happened mostly all family members are using their privates’

cars

and it leads to so many

cars

on roads and

traffic

jams.

For example

, in Singapore, the taxes on

cars

are very expensive and everyone is unable to own private

cars

because of the high taxing by the Singapore government.

Thus

, most

people

are using trains and public transportation to commute. To sum up,

although

I agree that it is the best method to solve the

problems

of growing

traffic

and

pollution

by increasing the

petrol

price, I believe that raising the tax for private vehicles might be effective to solve the

problems

like the government in Singapore did taxing to control

traffic

congestion.
