A lot of problem are attributed to rapid lincrease in the number of private cars. Increasing the price of petrol Is the best way to solve the problem of growing traffic and pollution. To what extent do you agree and other effective measures.

Burgeoning in the count of private cars has severe consequences

such

as excess

traffic

and

pollution

so handful of

people

believe that hike in prices of

petrol

would be the best solution to overcome

this

problem. I have a different opinion that a hike in fuel price is not the best solution but the government can use it as an effective measure and will discuss other measures.

First

and foremost , the Usage of private

vehicles

will be decreased. Since nowadays, inflation is affecting society in every aspect of life so even basic requirements of survival are not getting fulfilled in an appropriate manner ,

therefore

, paying high prices for

petrol

becomes hard for

people

as it leads to buzz the budget. So they were left with no choice other than public transport, ultimately helpful in lessening the

traffic

and

pollution

. To quote an instance, if

people

start using buses or trains for commuting,

then

a huge amount of private

vehicles

will be replaced by common public transport and amount of harmful gasses emitted by one bus or train would be less than four motor

vehicles

. These problems are insurmountable

however

by taking other measures rather than an increase in

petrol

price

this

can be curbed.

However

apart from ,

this

another effective proposition for controlling the

traffic

and

pollution

is car-pooling. since multiple

people

work in same places and commute to the same destination on a regular basis so implementation of car-pooling would be useful as by sharing the motor

vehicles

, congestion will be less ultimately amount of

pollution

will be decreased. Ample of carpooling applications have already been developed for finding available rides easily

such

as BlaBla Car, side, Quick Ride etcetera. Apart from

this

, the Odd-Even formula where the cars having odd and even registration numbers can be used on alternate days has proven useful in some states so by implementing

this

concept worldwide

traffic

and

pollution

can be mitigated up to a maximum extent. To conclude,

although

hike in the price of

petrol

will enforce

people

to use less private motor

vehicles

that will help in decreasing

traffic

congestion and

pollution

,

however

; by taking some other steps like implementing carpooling and odd-even concepts these problems can be controlled.
