Some people believe government should spend money on building train and subway lines to reduce traffic congestion. Others think that building more and wider roads is the better way to reduce traffic congestion. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is an irrefutable fact that

traffic

congestion has become a serious problem in many countries.

Although

many people believe that constructing more and wider roads is the best solution to mitigate

this

problem, I would agree with those who believe that building

train

and

subway

lines is a better way to reduce

traffic

jam. On the one hand, there are some clear reasons why the extension and construction of roads can alleviate the volume of

traffic

.

Firstly

, the existing roads are not wide enough to accommodate the number of vehicles on the roads.

This

, in turn, leads to

traffic

jams, especially in cities.

Secondly

, if there are better networks of roads, people will be able to take an alternative route to avoid

when

congestion occurs.

However

, I do not agree with

this

view because wider and better roads might encourage people to buy cars. In a short period of time

traffic

will increase.

On the other hand

, there are many reasons why some people believe that the government spending money on building

train

and

subway

lines is a better decision to tackle

traffic

jams. One reason is that trains are faster than buses or cars so people tend to prefer a

train

over a car, especially those who commute to work.

This

may relieve the pressure on existing roads.

Secondly

, in many cities, there is not enough land available to construct or extend roads.

By contrast

, a

subway

network is built underground and there is no need to worry about scarcity of land.

Therefore

, building a

subway

line is certainly a viable option. In conclusion, it is true that constructing more and wider roads
