In some cities, traffic jam has become a major problem. Some people claim that government should impose a congestion tax during the rush hour. To extent do you agree or disagree.

It is true that

traffic

congestion

has gradually become a primary issue these days. Some

people

believe that the

government

should carry out a

traffic

tax during peak hours,

while

I partly agree that there are some arguments about

this

implementation. On the one hand, it is undeniable that the

government

implementing road pricing will certainly be able to reduce the number of cars during rush hour.

Firstly

, charging higher fees during busy

traffic

periods may discourage

people

from driving their private cars.

This

can result in shorter travel times and smoother

traffic

flow.

Secondly

,

congestion

pricing could stimulate

people

to take public transportation which could reduce air pollution.

For example

,

people

would be willing to take the bus in order to reduce their expenditures.

Therefore

, the measure of charging

traffic

taxes by the

government

not only reduces the volume of vehicles but

also

lessens the emission of carbon dioxide.

On the other hand

, some

people

argue that

congestion

taxes could create an additional financial burden for those who live in rural areas and need to rely on private vehicles.

Besides

, if the

government

regulates

this

measure could affect local businesses.

For example

, reducing

traffic

congestion

during rush hour may discourage

people

from visiting shops, restaurants, and department stores, which will decrease their revenue. It has a negative impact on both local businesses and

people

who drive the car to work every day. In conclusion,

although

the

government

could put

congestion

taxes into practice and could alleviate the

traffic

problem, I believe that carrying out

this

implementation would cause some issues for the public.
