Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve

traffic

and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Nowadays, some

people

believe that the best

solution

to reduce the world's

traffic

is to increase the cost of fuel. Personally, I believe that

this

is not a viable

solution

and I will explain my reasons in the following paragraphs.

To begin

with, I think that even if the government increases the fuel cost, the rich can afford it and there will not be much change

at the end

of the day. So, there should be some other solutions to solve the environmental problems.

For instance

, governments can encourage

people

to use fewer

cars

by providing the public with

can be mitigated to a considerable extent in big cities.

Moreover

, another significant

solution

can be the replacement of fuel-based

cars

with electric ones. Nowadays a growing number of countries are investing in

this

field in order to address the issues related to environment and

traffic

.

However

, electric

cars

are comparatively expensive and

hence

, unaffordable for many

people

. So, it is obvious that governments and car companies should reduce the price of

such

vehicles in order to encourage more

people

to use them. In conclusion, I believe that the increase in fuel costs is not a suitable

solution

, and we can tackle

traffic

problems and air pollution by improving
