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

The increasing number of land transport has caused tremendous environmental pollution and traffic congestion. The globe is rapidly suffering from noise and air pollution produced by large numbers of

cars

.

Hence

,

therefore

to lessen these issues, some people are of the opinion that the best possible way is to hike the

price

of fuels.

However

, I am against

this

view and I am in the perspective that the number of vehicles will rise irrespective of the

price

of fuel unless government intervents in some logical and doable policies and regulations.

This

is a personal perspective that hiking the

price

of petrol would rather widen the gap between poor and rich.

This

is because the wealthier persons will have no impact on the fuel

price

and

hence

they don't mind fueling

cars

and purchasing new ones. Whereas on other hand, already being in a disadvantaged group, they will lack all the luxury lives.

Therefore

,

instead

of raising the

price

of energy, the government should formulate policies that benefit not only the environment but

also

the public.

For instance

,

such

as deploying more public transport with better timing and adequate seats.

This

will not only reduces the traffic congestion but

also

highly benefit

class family. Another measure government could take is issuing a driving license to a maximum of two in the family. It means in a household, there should be only two

cars

at the highest number

otherwise

it will go against the law if the household owns more than 2

cars

. Another option state could do is encourage people to walk or go cycling for a short destination by constructing lavish, wide, and scenic footpaths.
