Some increasing 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?

In recent years, environmental pollution and traffic congestion has become increased in many countries. Some people argue that increasing the petrol price is the best way to tackle these problems.

However

, I cannot entirely agree with

this

notion, because the best solution which is more effective and accessible is improving the quality of public

transport

facilities by the government. Most society prefers using their vehicles since public

transport

has yet to exist in some parts of developing countries.

For example

, even though Indonesia's authority has increased gasoline prices, citizens still use their private vehicles since there is no public

transportation

in their areas,

such

as suburban, rural, and remote areas. So,

this

solution is unnecessary, and the problem of air pollution and congestion can not be resolved. A possible solution for

this

issue is providing and improving public

transportation

quality.

Due to

the number of people who use private

transport

having overgrown, the authority should consider improving public

transportation

.

For instance

, if many communities consider travelling by mass

transport

like trains and buses, the rate of polluted air and traffic jams will decrease significantly.

As a result

, more energy and money can be saved.

To sum up

, everything that has been stated so far, by increasing petroleum prices, the community cannot entirely reduce jamming and polluted air problems.

Hence

, the ministry should provide excellent quality mass

transport

as alternative

transport

.

Also

, people must convert to using those types of

transportation

so that we can contribute to solving current issues quickly and effectively.
