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 has been argued that one of the best outcomes for traffic congestion and air pollution problems is increasing the price of fuel. In my opinion, I completely disagree with
this
idea and will explain it
further
.
On the other hand
, the higher price of petrol makes vehicle users convert their transportation mode. Workers as the biggest user of private transportation will begin to use Trans-Jakarta, LRT or MRT and soon the problems might be solved.
However
, traders
also
need to deliver their kinds of stuff by cars or trucks
as a result
,
this
will lead to other problems
such
as increasing daily grocery prices and
also
will be followed by the increase in other services prices. Another possible solution to cope with
this
problem is converting the type of
vehicles
into more environmentally friendly ones. Some companies have developed electric
vehicles
which enable them to run without gas emissions
thus
means the reduction of air pollution.
Additionally
, allowing half of the employees of the company to work from home is the best answer to reduce the traffic jam.
For example
, some companies in Jakarta have been scheduling workforce arrival to office and 3 days office workday. These rules will be applied interchangeably to minimize the number of cars or other
vehicles
in the street, especially during rush hours. In conclusion, despite accomplishing the problem, raising the fuel price can lead to higher daily service and material prices so it would be better to change the transportation mode in electric
vehicles
and companies to adjust the regulations for the employees’ office attendance.
