Increment in the cost of petrol is the optimal way for solving the growing traffic and pollution problems. Nowadays, most of the people are accessible to the vechicles easily which is one of the major factor of traffic and pollution.
In my opinion, once the price is hiked of petrol the number of people who will be able to afford the petrol will certainly be reduced. As a result, the number of vehicles also tend to decrease creating less pollution and the traffic also won’t be as busy as it is at current time. But this will also be disadvantage to the people from poorer background. However, from the growing traffic and pollution problem’s perspective, I agree with the given statement.
There are other possible measures too for solving this problem. The strict law formation against the traffic rule breakers and the proper implementation of traffic rules and regulations and can be one of the best initiative. Similarly, the use of e- vehicle and proper quality checking and assurance of vehicles using petrol can also reduce the pollution to a great extent.
In conclusion, price hike of the petrol is one of the best possible solution to solve the problem of growing traffic and pollution. Nevertheless, there are other possible meausres too which can be equally effective.
