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?
Some suggest that the optimal way of tackling unrelenting traffic and pollution issues is higher gas prices. Although this measure can curb these issues to some extent, I do not agree that it is the most effective one. Instead, less controversial options such as raising public awareness and popularizing less polluting modes of transportation should be explored.
