In some cities, the government has tried to reduce traffic. For instance, they imposed a congestion tax during rush hours. Do you think this development is positive or negative?

In many cities, the Government has imposed peak hour rates on drivers to reduce traffic, so travellers can stop using their vehicles and reduce incidents which happen on the

roads

. I do not think

this

development is positive because there are other methods which can ease the traffic on the

roads

.

This

essay will discuss why imposed taxes are not beneficial to the

people

.

Firstly

, the main reason is that the Administration charges taxes from the community, which puts an extra financial burden on the drivers, some folks travel from far distances because they cannot afford expensive rent in the metropolis and do not have employment in their range. Another factor is that if more population live in the cities, it will require more facilities

such

as hospitals, educational institutions,houses, and other amenities which will put extra pressure on the locals.

For example

, in Sydney, rent is very high so the community are commuting on a daily basis from villages to feed their families.

Moreover

, the crime rate has increased and the price of properties has skyrocketed.

In addition

, in some rural areas still, public services are not available and villagers do not have any other options to reach their companies.

Instead

of putting taxes on the commuters the Authorities should provide public transport facilities and widen the

roads

, so

people

can drive easily and reduce long queues.

For example

, many councils now developed infrastructure to accommodate outsiders and to make affordable houses for everyone, so these

people

can settle in the metropolis and stop congestion on the

roads

. In conclusion, following the analysis,

it is clear that

if the Governance provides jobs in local areas and builds

roads

to provide public transport in these areas, the congestion issues will be fixed automatically.

Further

, it is predicted that

people

will keep driving to the cities for work until they get employment near their regions.
