Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or or disagree?

While some advocate that authorities should allocate more funds to railroads than roads, others put forward cogent reasons for increasing expenditure on highways and byways

first

. I totally agree that it is railway construction that should be primarily financed. The main reason why I believe that railways have to be funded on a primary basis is due to their reliability.

A regular train releases much less harmful gases than the cars needed to transport the same number of passengers. Developing railway nets ensures that fewer people will use private vehicles to commute.

In other words

, the number of cars on the road would decline, which would entail a drastic curtail of traffic jams in bustling cities.

As a result

, city dwellers would not have to spend hours on an everyday commute. To conclude, I completely agree that the government should make funding railways their top priority.

This

is because not only do railroads enable swift and secure transportation of individuals and goods, but they

also

bring much less damage to the environment than cars and tackle the issue of traffic congestion.
