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

Firstly

On the other hand

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

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

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

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

Therefore

, building a
