▶ Your Answer :
People say setting costly petrol price can be good solution to
reduce the large amount of traffic and air-pollution nowadays. I think this
suggestion is one of positive methods to solve those problems and I firmly
agree with this opinion.
Firstly, there are many substitute vehicles around
our lives such as electronic car. Most people have chosen it as a private
transportation in recent years. However, as for the other people who do not
want to alter their vehicle, they do not be motivated to change their vehicles,
which is operated by petrol and detrimentally influencing air-condition. For
this aspect, increasing oil price could affect them to replace their car to
other better substitutes, which do not emit any exhaust gas. Furthermore, people
might hesitate to drive a car frequently with pricey petrol cost. The massive
amount of traffic nowadays have caused the traffic jam and car accidents. It is
because most people commonly drive a car many times even when they commute
short distance. This phenomenon can be mitigate by setting a pricey oil cost
and the traffic condition also will be better with this method.
Besides, government should promote people to
take public transportation. People usually not prefer to take it because there
is stereotype which both bus and subway are slower and less convenient than
driving a car. To change people`s thinking, the government should enrich the
quality and inconvenience of those transportation, then people will be aroused
to use those things and the air pollution and large traffic will naturally reduce.
In conclusion, increasing the petrol price
can be practical method to encourage people to replace their car to other better
means such as electronic vehicle and to be hesitated driving a car frequently.
Otherwise, government also can minimize those problems by promoting public
transportation. |
