Increasing price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution. What other measures should be adopted. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Nowadays, rural areas have become polluted

due to

the high demand in using private

cars

, and

this

has led to resource depletion because of the high usage of

petrol

.

Thus

,

this

has made our cities polluted.

Although

some

people

believe that increasing the gas

rate

could be the best way to tackle

this

problem, I strongly disagree with

this

statement, and in

this

essay, I will argue why

this

way is not the case for solving

this

problem.

To begin

, some believe that by increasing the

rate

of

petrol

, there would be less

pollution

and

traffic

. Over the past years, the

rate

of gas has increased significantly, but using private

cars

has not changed in the way that was expected.

This

solution might be temporary, and after a

while

,

people

get used to it.

Then

, they tend to use their private

cars

again.

However

, from my point of view, increasing in

petrol

price is not fair because it puts a lot of pressure on

people

who have a lower income, and their welfare will be eradicated.

Furthermore

, loads of goods and products have been transported by

cars

and trucks recently, and

this

increase has an adverse effect on the prices of products because the

rate

of

petrol

is high, and it is not worth it to carry out goods at that

rate

. So, the price of products will be increased. There are several ways to tackle

traffic

congestion and air

pollution

which I believe both governments and individuals can take into.

Firstly

, the government can provide convenient facilities and safe public transportation for nearly all

people

in big cities.

Therefore

,

people

tend to use public transportation

instead

of their private

cars

, It leads to lower

traffic

and noise

pollution

that is

made by emissions of CO2.

Also

, individuals can pay more money to use electric

cars

instead

of those

cars

using fossil fuels.

To sum up

, some

people

think by increasing the price of

petrol

, air

pollution

and

traffic

will be decreased.

However

, I believe

that is

not the case. Governments and individuals can participate in lowering

traffic

and

pollution

caused by private

cars

.
