▶ Your Answer : Some people think that charging a fee to people who drive their own car during rush hour is unreasonable. However, I contends that fine to people who use their car during rush hour have positive effects to traffic congestions and environments. To begin with, by charging a fee, the traffic congestion could be ease. If people use public transportation such as subways or buses, the city will be less crowded because there are less cars. As a result, the time to get to the destination will decrease significantly so it is beneficial. For this reason, the governments have to encourage people to use public transportation by charging a fee. My personal experience can be used to prove my point. When I lived in Cheong ju, I used my car for commute. I moved to Seoul for my job and I had some problems. The Seoul was so crowded with people and cars so during rush hours it was nearly impossible using a car. Seoul's transportation organization also implemented a rule to limit using their own car during rush hour. At first, I was dissatisfied however thanks to that regulation, the traffic congestion alleviated. Therefore, charing a fee is a reasonable decision. Moreover, it is helpful to solve the problem of environments. The emitted gases from cars are harmful to air quality and ozon layer. The emitted gases break an ozon layer and it incurrs more sunlights to the earth. More sunlights is problemtic because it increase the sea level and climate changes. Therefore, the govenrments should establish a policy to limit using personal cars during rush hours. According to the survey conducted by Seoul National University, the researchers investigated the air quality in Korea between the 1990 and the 2018. In the 1990, there were no regulations for using people's own cars ,however in the 2018 the govenments make peopel do not use their own car only during rush hour. According to the data, the air quality of Korea was bad in the 1990 ,but in the 2018 data shows that it is considerably improved comparatively in the 1990. This shows that it was only during rush hour but it is effective. To sum up, by charging a fee to people who use their own car during rush hour, the traffic congestion can be mitigated and the environments could be better. In this regard, I firmly believe that the given topic is true. |
