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?

Increasing

traffic

and

pollution

is a major concern all over the world, Hiking the price of petrol is the best step to solve

traffic

and

pollution

-related issues. I do not agree with

this

statement, It is not an ideal step to solve

this

issue. Other effective measures can be implemented

such

as encouraging citizens to use public transport

as well as

increasing awareness of the environment. To commence with, surging the prices of fuel is not the best way to handle

pollution

and

traffic

problems. The livelihood of some people are depend on selling fuel.

Moreover

, increased prices will affect the economy as well. Government should introduce some key measures to control

pollution

and

traffic

. Starting from public transportation, the government should bring effective and low-cost public transport

such

as buses and metros.

For instance

, the significance of Metro trains in my city has helped a lot of citizens to get rid of stuck in

traffic

for hours

as well as

it is fast enough to reach their destination.

Thus

, public transport offers positive points which are beneficial for society and the environment

also

.

Secondly

, the authority should encourage citizens for electric

vehicles

.

For example

, rental bikes should be introduced for short travelling

as well as

giving subsidies to owners of electric

vehicles

.

Moreover

, the authority should ban more aged

vehicles

that are 15 or more than 15 years old. These over-aged

vehicles

are the main cause of

pollution

.

Hence

,

pollution

can be reduced by implementing these norms.

To conclude

, I consider there is no Sunnyside of increase in fuel prices to overcome

traffic

and

pollution

, implementing other measures like more use of public transportation and electric

vehicles

are an ideal option.
