some people believe the government should spend money building train and subway lines to reduce traffic congestion. Others however think that building more and wider roads is a better way to reduce the traffic congestion. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
People hold different views about whether train and subway lines should be built by the government or whether constructing more roads is one of the effective methods to ease the traffic jams.
