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.
