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

It is believed that rising petrol prices can effectively

control

traffic

and

pollution

issues. I agree that a rise in fuel charge can be an effective approach to

control

these

concerns

and will give examples in the coming paragraphs. Improving public transportation and making it more affordable are other measures to solve these problems. To commence with, the foremost advantage of rising petrol prices will be lesser cars on the

road

which will solve

traffic

and congestion on the roads as driving own vehicle will become a costly affair for an individual.

For instance

, higher fuel charges cause affordability

concerns

for private vehicle owners,

hence

, a lesser group of people will prefer to drive their own vehicles which leads to less

traffic

on

road

.

Moreover

, fewer personal vehicles on

road

will lead to less

air

pollution

and an increase in

air

quality.

For example

, AQI is depleting due to an increase in

air

pollution

which can only be improved once we have less

pollution

caused by vehicles on

road

.

Thus

, petrol prices not only deter

traffic

but

also

help to have a better environment. Apart from

this

, governments need to take some extra efforts to

control

these

concerns

such

as investing more in roads and public transportation infrastructure and decreasing the ticket price of public transport. To exemplify, when people have better public transport facilities with affordable costs they tend to choose it

instead

of commuting in their own cars as it helps to save the cost and effort of an individual.

Hence

, improvement in public commutes can effectively

control

the above

concerns

. To conclude, enhancement in fuel cost can

control

traffic

jams and

air

pollution

issues to some extent. While ministry needs to put some extra effort to solve

this

issue in an effective manner.
