Traffic jams are worldwide problems especially in big cities like New York, Beijing, Tokyo, and so on. So taking a charge from drivers in a busy time has benefits for city transportation, because this policy could improve city traffic efficiency. Moreover, It may decrease traffic pollution and noise.

Firstly, taking a fee can decrease cars on the streets during rush hours. Imagine what people do when the traffic is heavy and they need to pay for using the streets. At this moment, they may change their schedules and choose a free period. For instance, a girl wants to have a date or hang out with her friends, and she prefers to select after 2 p.m. which traffic is moving quickly at this period. Moreover, some people are unwilling to pay an extra fee, which may stimulate them to use public transportation. It also helps to decrease the number of private cats on the streets.

Secondly, as I mentioned above, people will lower the frequency of using cars and take public transportation. That may help to reduce traffic noise and pollution because the noise of hoots is also cut when the traffic jams are reduced. Let alone there are abundant people would take public transportation, traffic pollution will also decrease. Furthermore, some people buy a car out of convenience. If using their car in rush time will pay an extra fee, a lot of people do not continue to purchase a car. And fewer private cars means less use of oil, which makes a great effort to environmental protection.

Taking a fee from drivers when traffic jams are heavy may is not the best way to control the traffic jam, but it actually brings some advantages for the citizens and decreases the degree of traffic jams in some way.
