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

Traffic

undoubtedly encourage drivers to be more conscious of the amount of fuel they use. Some might even put effort into finding alternative ways of transportations.

As a result

However

. The main drawback with making

is improving public transportations.
