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

It is believed by some people that in order to limit
traffic
and environmental
problems
namely pollution is by increasing the fuels' prices. I have to disagree with
this
statement because I reckon that
this
would only widen social inequality.
Instead
, there are more rational and effective measures that could be taken to solve these
problems
.
Firstly
, it is true that increasing the

of
petrol
can indeed reduce
traffic
issues
such
as

safety
since there won't be a lot of vehicles meaning less risk of accidents,
this
also
means less

emission.
However
,
this
also
means that only rich people who can afford the expensive
petrol
price would be able to drive their cars, not only that
,

but rising the price would automatically result in public

higher costs and the

.
For example
, most trades are based on
petrol
because the goods
transportation
would be done by truck or
airplan

aeroplanes
or other fuel means of transport.
Therefore
, I find

to be the utter

since it would cause a colossal economic crisis. There are many alternatives that could be taken
in

consideration to solve
traffic
and pollution
problems
.
Firstly
, the government should be responsible for the public
transportation
service improvement.
In other words
, if buses were convenient it will draw more people to use them resulting in reducing
traffic-congestions

and our carbon

. In conclusion, while it is deemed that increasing
petrol
prices is capable of resolving
traffic
issues as well as pollution
problems
, I think that
this
would cause more challenges than it would solve, and
therefore
, I believe that improving the
