Increasing the price 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?

In countries around the world today,

concern. While suggestions are frequently being made to tackle them ,some

people

believe that a major way of solving these issues is to raise the cost of petrol and I strongly concur.

This

essay would be discussing why I support

this

notion

in addition

to offering other effective solutions. The number of

people

owning

cars

has dramatically increased over the

last

decade.

This

inevitably has resulted in huge

traffic

and

air

pollution

. Most automobiles produced nowadays are powered by petrol,

hence

increasing its cost would serve as a deterrent to the use of

cars

because not everyone would be able to afford and maintain a car,

thus

resulting in a decline in the growing

traffic

and

air

pollution

.

For example

, a lot of individuals live below the minimum wage already ,so I believe that an increase in petrol price will only add to their already high monthly expenses causing them to abandon private

cars

and opt to use public transport

such

as tubes and trains which are more environmental-friendly. Another effective way of ensuring the reduction in

air

pollution

and the growing

traffic

is by equipping and remodelling the alternative means of transportation

such

as trains and tubes. In the

first

place, the main reason why

people

are increasingly purchasing private

cars

is that the public transport system is in a terrible state.

For instance

, some of them do not have functioning toilets and are unkept which led

people

into buying their own vehicles. If these other means of transportation can be modernized and fully equipped there would be a tremendous rise in the number of individuals who use them and

as a result

a fall in road congestion. In conclusion, the increase in road congestion and

air

pollution

is greatly affecting our lives negatively and I strongly agree that measures

such

as increasing the price of fuel and improving our trains and tubes are ways of solving these problems.
