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

In today's world of modernization, a section of advocates, suggests that the government should allocate more money on improving railways as compared to roads. Another group of people argue that trains are a thing of the past. I agree with the former and would like to highlight various advantages and disadvantages of encouraging the development of our train system. I agree because of 2 major reasons.

Firstly

Furthermore

, science explains that the amount of carbon dioxide released into our atmosphere by a train is very less, in comparison to automobiles to transport the same number of people. Unfortunately, a majority of people prefer road based travel to go to a nearby location. As a consequence, a large amount of fossil fuel is utilized to take humans from one place to another.

Secondly
