 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? In last decades, the issue of traffic and air pollution became popular in the large cities around the world. There is a view that increasing fuel price can be viewed from various perspectives. I barely can contribute to this idea completely. Any Fuel price increase may attain its drawbacks while two raised issues could be solved by other possible measures. First, it is obvious that in short-term a price increase of petrol can plummet the traffic congestion and consequently affects the air pollution, but it is not a long run solution. Moreover, since the petrol price has a domino effect on transportation, its price can impact the price of all other goods in the market. Therefore, price increase not only cannot be a solving solution but also emerge another predicament for society. For example, in my country, any fluctuation in the price of fuel can impact the price of various goods due to its direct relevance to transportation. Secondly, there are other measures that can be implemented to avoid air pollution and also oversee the traffic more properly. Being more available, public transportation in rush hour may make it plausible that people use public transportation such as subways and buses instead of their private car. In addition, government can render ascheme to increase public awareness to use public transportation for their own good and enjoy a healthier air. As an example, Amsterdam, which is a enormously touristic city has promoted the idea of using bike while it has provided substructure and specific roads for bikes in parallel. As a consequence of Following to these measures, air pollution and traffic jams can be controlled. In conclusion, I restate that price increase of petrol, following by which have less air pollution and more control over traffic is a controversial topic but cannot be the descent solution in a long-term. Also, other practical actions may facilitate the process of controlling the growing traffic and diminish air pollution to some extent.
