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

It is believed by some

people

that by raising the price of fuel, ever-increasing issues of

traffic

congestion and the associated

pollution

can be handled effectively.

However

, I do not consider that

this

is the most effective way out . To solve

this

problem, the government and individuals should work collaboratively in

such

a way that the general public is not forced to bear the financial burden. Undoubtedly, hiking the price of petrol may appear as a quick solution for the

pollution

problem, but there are many drawbacks of using

this

method. Because, in that condition, common

people

will have to bear

this

cost because usage of private cars can not be avoided in many circumstances

such

as grocery shopping or pick and drop off children.

Besides

that, sometimes individuals are bound to visit some regions where public transport are not feasible to use.

Therefore

, hiking the cost of fuel will not tackle

this

issue of growing

traffic

volume and

pollution

. With regard to other alternatives,

first

of all, the government should take initiatives in terms of imposing strict rules to regulate the flow of

traffic

on roads. For

this

, even and odd number cars can be allowed alternatively. In India,

for instance

,

this

scheme has been successfully implemented for the

last

few years. Outcomes of surveys reveal the fact that

people

have been cooperating with the authorities and at the same time they have been enjoying commuting with their colleagues by using the carpooling scheme.

Also

,

this

plan has dropped the

pollution

in many cities to a greater extent. in conclusion, I would strongly recommend that higher authorities and common

people

can effectively face

this

problem of

traffic

and carbon emission more effectively by some efficient ways as compared to by hiking the costs of fuels.
