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?

The belief that boosting petrol price will certainly end the problem of high-capacity traffic and extreme pollution has now been the subject of increasing concern. This suggestion at first may appear to exert positive effects yet in long term involve sophisticated issues. From my perspective, I wholly disapprove of the given solution.

Apparently, authorities would make a completely wrong decision to put the petrol price to such high levels due to various rationales of human lives. Firstly, if this method is applied, poor individuals will have to struggle a great deal confronting and paying big amount of travelling costs every day. Clearly, as a matter of fact, this will lead the population and nation to become immensely impoverished. Secondly, some parts of the society may abandon jobs as they could barely afford the energy expenses for their private automobiles. Consequently, the rate of unemployment might start to escalate considerably, causing other serious matters. Therefore, it can be said that growing the price of petrol hardly seems a feasible option in dealing with traffic and pollution issues.

Regarding potential measures, probably the main remedy would be to upgrade and encourage using the public transport system widely from urban to suburban. By doing this, more commuters will be likely to stop buying cars and start the habit of sharing the same transport. Moreover, governments should also impose strict taxes on companies who sell private vehicles to limit number of drivers, thus reduce usual traffic congestions and accidents. In other words, environment-related benefits will be fully regarded as there is less noise and air pollution.

To sum up, while raising the energy costs might appear to be superficially attractive and effective, the drawbacks it brings to the poor part of society can be seen severe and inhumane. Other possible solutions mentioned should be proved to work better and be more appropriate.
