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?

As is obviously seen, modern society has been plagued nowadays due to many reasons which the most significant

ones

to mention are

traffic

and environmental problems. It is argued by some that hiking the rate of

fuel

is the best measure to adopt to face

this

dilemma. Undoubtedly,

this

can be considered an effective remedial, but only for a short period of time. Other steps should be taken to tackle these issues. Pricy petrol could be a partial successful solution to solve both

traffic

and environmental issues. In simple words,

For instance
