These days, the
problems
of increasing vehicles and
pollution
are aggravated. I agreed that increasing the
price
of petrol is one of the methods to solve the above
problems
, but it is not the best way, indeed,there is a myriad of methods to tackle the
problems
.
Increasing the
price
of
fuels
is definitely one of the ways that may help with the above
problems
. By increasing the
price
of
fuels
, some
people
may find it more difficult in affording them, and
hence
, they would drive less and consider using more public transport in daily life. As fewer
people
drive private cars, fewer fossil
fuels
will be burnt, and
as a result
, fewer
air
pollutants will be produced.
However
, as a huge number of private drivers come from the middle or even high socio-economic class, not many of them will concern about the
price
of petroleum,
therefore
, not many drivers will reduce their frequency of driving even though the
price
of fuel is increased.
Besides
increasing the
price
of fossil
fuels
, I think the most significant and effective solution to solve the
problems
in long term is that the
government
should review and
further
develop the public transportation system in a place. Currently, many
people
choose to drive as they find that it is very

for them to travel around the community by using public transport. If the
government
can analyze current traffic
problems
and
further
improve the transportation system by
such
as developing new bus routes which allow
people
to access remote areas or adding more stops between the current tram and bus stations,
people
will be more willing to take public transport.
As a result
, the number of cars in town will be reduced and the
air
pollution
problem will be less severe.
Moreover
, the
government
need to raise public awareness about
air
pollution
by launching campaigns and television advertisements.
Air
pollutants do not only come from burning
fuels
in driving , indeed, they
also
come from many other human daily activities like using daily electronic gadgets. Every individual not only the drivers should be responsible for the
problems
.
Government
can work with electronic gadgets factories and label the devices that are environmentally friendly. With the labels,
people
are able to identify environmentally friendly applicants and switch from using traditional energy-consumption electronic gadgets to them.
In conclusion,
although
I agree that increasing the
price
of petrol is able to solve the problem of growing traffic and
pollution
, it is not the best method. I believe that increasing public awareness and developing

better public transportation will be a better way to improve the
problems
in long term.
