Both government investment in public transport systems and reductions in public transport ticket prices would help to reduce transport pollution greatly. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Pollution

is a serious global problem

although

that which is caused by traffic is one which can be tackled. I would agree that the primary way of doing

this

would be to invest in the public

transport

infrastructure.

However

also

other ways.
