In order to solve traffic problems, governments in some cities imposed a congestion tax during rush hours. Is this a positive or negative policy.
It is common to see that traffic congestion in many cities around the world is severe, and to solve this problem, many governments introduced taxes on car drivers during rush hours. Although there are possible drawbacks, I tend to believe this is a positive policy. (改写题目+表态)
On the one hand, this policy would increase the financial burden on car drivers. Further taxes would only mean less money at the end of the month for most people who may have no choice but to drive every day, and therefore their living standards are likely to fall. This type of tax would hit those with less money harder, whilst the rich could likely afford it. （观点句+展开）
On the other hand, there are more benefits to gain. One of the first benefits of such a measure is that the heavy taxes would discourage car owners from using their cars to some extent because it would become more expensive to drive. This would mean that they would begin to make use of public transport instead, thus reducing traffic problems and pollution as well. （与前段的转折句+观点句+展开）
Another benefit would be that the money could be invested in improvement of public transportation. It is often the case that public transport in cities is very poor. For example, we often see old buses and trains that people would rather not use. High taxes would generate enough money to make the necessary changes.（观点句+展开）
To conclude, my view is that this solution is worth considering to improve the current situation and it is positive to introduce such a policy. (256 words) （重申自己观点）
