Is it beneficial or harmful to solve the traffic problem by increasing taxes?
In general, everything has two sides and increasing heavy tax to private car owners has both positive and negative connotations as well. On one hand, people think that heavy taxes can enhance one of the traffic problems. On the other hand, some feel that adding a vast array of taxes brings both inconvenience and embarrassment to a driver. For this essay, I would like to point out both positive and negative perspectives and create some arguments for this topic.
One of the first benefits for an increase of tax value is connected to convincing people who have own cars to use the public transportation more than they do these days. This would leads to reduce a large number of cars on the road. Moreover, the government could help supply the good public transportation such as improving an old bus to be a good quality and developing the rugged and swampy street to be convenient for all travelers.
Even though a rise of tax value is somehow beneficial, it could also cause hardships for car owners. The reason be, with necessary way of transportation, some people who live in a rural area and there has not been a bus or public transport along the way they live. Thus these population need to use their own cars inevitably. If the tax is increased by the same value and each person who owns a car has to pay that, it is not the fair tax. Because the rich could pay tax easily but the poor or the middle class might not be able to put a vast amount of money on that.
Taking into account everything mentioned above, like double-edged sword, not only putting a heavy tax to a car driver brings benefits to solve the traffic problem, but also provides some negative outcomes to the citizen using cars as inescapable way at the same time. In my personal perspective, this issue should be of concern to everybody ranging from individuals to governments to limit and control of using own cars. I wholeheartedly believe that if everyone does their parts, we are able to solve problem in terms of the traffic transportation.
