Writing Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions
Read the following information.
The local police department is thinking of bringing in some changes. To motivate car-pooling they are planning some measures. The public is asked for an opinion.
Police department survey :
Option A: Introduction of additional special lane.
Option B: Imposing speed limit on single users.
To whom it may concern, I am responding to your survey questioning regarding the options to promote carpooling among the citizens. In my opinion, option B is the optimal choice between the two presented. Imposing a speed limit will encourage the motorist to initiate carpooling because single travelling will restrict them from reaching on time and concurrently delaying their travel time. Moreover, carpooling will add some extra bucks to their monthly budget, which would make it an attractive alternative. On the contrary, the introduction of special lanes will be attractive initially. Still, later on, when more people will start carpooling, it will hinder the riders from reaching their destination on time because of the increased traffic on the particular lane, which in turn again brings the same situation where people tend to avoid carpooling. Thus, Option A is the least desirable choice given. In conclusion, I have chosen Option B as the target to promote carpooling. I am of the view that this alternative will provide better results in future. Kind Regards Mark
