Essay #253 "Oil Prices" 28.09.18
Technological progress despite all its benefits, has some negative side effects. One of them is the abundance of traffic on the roads. This is not only a source of disastrous ecological contamination, but also causes noise pollution and increases the number of road accidents. Some people believe that this can all be solved by increasing gas prices, which in my opinion is quite a naive idea and which I totally disagree with.
Firstly, gas is one product which cannot be effectively substituted, any the increase of its price will only have a marginal effect on the overall situation. People may be willing to pay any amount if they need to get to some place by a certain time or to deliver some goods to customers. By fiddling with the price people will only make the situation worse. This can have a highly negative effect on the economy and the pricing process. Thus, in the end final consumers and ordinary people will be burdened with any price increase. Therefore, this will not only fail to solve the problem, but also could make it even worse.
In order to affect the number of vehicles on the roads the government and the Ministry of Transportation should revise the whole transportation system and put their efforts into promoting public transport. This can very efficiently decrease the number of cars on the roads, and its effectiveness has been proven. It will not only save people money as they will be spending less due to the fact that public transport is cheaper, but also it will create great benefits for the environment. Another way to resolve this problem is to promote the use of bicycles, which some countries are very successful in.
To conclude, in spite of the common belief that prices increases on gas can reduce the amount of traffic and decongest the roads, it will not work, and will make the situation worse. Thus, in order to resolve this problem, people with the help from a government should revise their transportation habits and make a choice in favor of more ecological ones, such as public transport and bicycles.

perfect text. you had putted the situation very clear. the solution as you said, is improve public transport and make a change in the public mind. if you increase the oil cost, the cost of send goods will increase proportionally. thus, the life cost will be more expensive. perharps if if create a group which won't be affect, may make some reduce. but it bring a lot of political problem i guess.
