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

crowds
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
