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

Many people believe government´s money should be used to build, maintain and fix railways
instead
of roads. In my opinion,
this
is a very wise decision and in
this
essay it will be explained why. Trains are essential because thousands of workers need them to commute to
work
every day. Lower price and comfortable journeys, are the two main reasons that explain why citizens prefer trains rather than cars to get to
work
.
In addition
, travelling by train is considerably less stressful than driving in heavy traffic from neighbouring towns to big cities. Take,
for instance
, in Buenos Aires it would take maybe one hour driving to get downtown from nearby surrounding areas
such
as Vicente Lopez, whereas by train you would only need 15 to 20 minutes. One the other hand, spending money on roads is important to improve the connection between cities and a car´s durability, but
this
is not as meaningful to people´s life as improving the quality of train journeys.
On the contrary
, fixed roads would
rise
raise the level or amount of something
raise
the amount of cars in them and
consequently
increase the possibilities of being part of traffic jams and accidents and
therefore
of arriving late for
work
. Trains are, by the way, significantly more convenient as it
is only needed
Suggestion
only needs
one to carry lots of people while cars only take one or two passengers at a time. In conclusion, whereas roads should be built and looked after by the government to communicate neighbouring cities and prevent car breaking, more money should be spent on railways. These days, arriving on time and in shape to
work
is essential for people's lives and
this
depends on the good functioning of public transport
such
as trains.
