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?

Nowadays the

traffic

is more and more congested and the

pollution

of the environment is on the rise because of

this

.

People

are choosing

cars

over public

transportation

or other alternative

transportation

solutions

in

order

to move from one place to another, and one may be thinking that rising the

price

of

petrol

might be the solution to persuade

people

to not

use

their

cars

anymore.

However

, I disagree that rising the

petrol

price

will be a way to solve the issues with the

traffic

and the

pollution

. Analyzing the coercive

solutions

will not solve the

traffic

and the

pollution

, but the stimulating or motivational

solutions

, as well as a better public

transportation

system, will prove

this

.

Firstly

, charging more for

petrol

will not be effective, because

people

will still

use

their

car

no matter how much the

price

will increase,

instead

we should

use

motivational or stimulating

solutions

in

order

to convince

people

to not get in their

car

anymore.

For instance

, it is widely known that the prices for tobacco and alcohol are rising periodically, but

this

is not persuading

people

to not

use

these substances anymore. Sadly, rising the

price

of

petrol

will not determine

people

to let their

car

at home, but stimulate them to let the

car

in the parking with a few free tickets for public

transportation

or giving them vouchers for acquiring alternative

transportation

systems

such

as bicycles and scooters may be a better solution in dealing with the

traffic

jam and environmental

pollution

.

Therefore

,

this

makes it clear that rising the

price

of

petrol

will not solve the

traffic

and the

pollution

.

Secondly

, in

order

to solve the

traffic

jams and the

pollution

problems, we should have a better public

transportation

system, in

order

to persuade

people

to choose it and not just increase the

petrol

prices in hope that

people

will renounce their

cars

.

For example

, making public

transportation

more available for the

people

(through discounted prices, better connections, more buses, trams or metros), more safely and running

accroding

according

to a schedule

that is

very well respected, may convince

people

to choose public

transportation

instead

of their

cars

.

Therefore

it becomes apparent that just by

rising

raising

the

price

of

petrol

we will not obtain fewer

cars

and less

pollution

. In conclusion, charging more for

petrol

and using

this

as a coercive measure in determining

people

to not

use

their

cars

instead

of using motivational methods to convince

people

to

use

public

transportation

or alternative

transportation

measures is not going to solve the congested

traffic

and the

pollution

.

Therefore

it is clear that just

rising

raising

show examples

the

price

of

petrol

will not solve these problems. After the analysis on

this

subject, I think that

people

will always choose their

cars

in

order

to get somewhere, so we have to come up with creative

solutions

in

order

to determine them to not be a part of a big

traffic

jam and to the

pollution

of our planet.
