    Traffic problems have risen rapidly with the process of urbanization. To address the traffic jam problem in busy streets, some people propose congestion pricing. However, I reject this notion and instead believe that it is useless for the traffic jam and will add an unnecessary burden to normal workers.

    First of all, it’s an inefficient way to control the city traffic. As we all know, the biggest problem arises at rush hour when is the exact time for commuters to travel to their workplace. Even though they are required to pay fees during these hours, they still need to commute. Therefore, this proposal will not decrease the number of cars on the main streets during the busiest time.

    Additionally, it’s unequal for employees who can decide neither the time of working nor the place of working. Take my experience as an example. I was an intern at a famous technology company, I drove through the whole city on the main streets during the most crowded time just because there was no suitable public transportation but I had a fixed office time. On the other hand, my boss lives in the same district of my campus but he can  decide by himself both his working time and place. If this fee regulation was approved, regular workers like me with low salaries and unadjustable routines are punished while wealthy upper-class like my boss is seldom influenced.

    Admittedly, some people may reconsider their transportation choice after charging fees. However, there are more suitable ways to achieve the same goal with a minor impact on the citizens. For example, governments can ban trucks taking up the space of main streets during the busiest hours. These vehicles are so large and dangerous that they greatly slow down the speed of the traffic flow, so it is possible to relieve the traffic pressure after limiting their appearance.

    In conclusion, this solution of charging fees is useless and unequal. It is more reasonable to adopt other measures to reduce the traffic jams on the main city roads.

For example, governments can ban trucks taking up the space of main streets during the busiest hours. These vehicles are so huge and dangerous that significantly slow down the speed of the traffic flow, so it is possible to relieve the traffic pressure after limiting their appearance.

    In conclusion, this solution of charging fees is useless and unequal. It is more reasonable to adopt other measures to reduce the traffic jams on the main city roads.

    When browsing newspapers and Internet, we may notice that traffic problems have risen rapidly with the process of urbanization. In order to address the traffic problem, some people propose that it is helpful to publish a regulation to charge congestion pricing. However, I reject this notion and instead believe that it is useless and even harmful..

    First of all, it is an inefficient way to control the city traffic. As we all know, normally the biggest problem arises at 7-9 am and 6-8 pm from Monday to Friday which is the exact time for labor to go to their workplace. Even though they are required to pay fees, they still need to go out to work. Therefore, this proposal is incapable of reducing the number of cars.

    Additionally, it is unequal for employees who can decide neither the time nor the place of working. Take my experience as an example. When I was intern of a company, I drove through the whole Beijing city on the main streets during the most crowded time just because there is no suitable public transportation and I had a fixed office time. On the other hand, my boss lives in the same district of my campus and he can choose freely both his working time and place. If this fee regulation was approved, regular workers like me with low salaries and unadjustable routines are punished while wealthy upper-class like my boss is seldom influenced.

    Admittedly, some people may reconsider their transportation choice after charging fees. However, there are more suitable ways to achieve the same goal with a minor impact on the citizens.
