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?

It is true that traffic congestion and pollution have become a serious problem in metropolises and cities. To solve

this

problem, an increase in the

the economy and society.

Although

increasing the

price

of petrol is one

way

to tackle the issue, there are other measures that can be more effective. One solution is that the city's infrastructure is developed by the government, specifically in public transportation.

For example

, expand routes and renew the vehicles, and encourage people to use them

instead

of their private cars. The other

way

is to apply tax on individuals who use their own cars in some polluted areas.

For instance

, in Tehran, province, the capital of Iran, the government has imposed a fee on drivers who use their vehicle during rush hours to reduce pollution, and in some specific areas from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm if people want to go there, they have to pay. In conclusion, traffic congestion and pollution have become a serious challenge.

Although

increasing petrol prices might be a

way

to solve

this

problem, I think it has some disadvantages. There are other effective ways like developing public transportation, and applying tax to tackle these problems.
