is building and widening roads, I still believe that government investment in constructing more rail and subway networks would be more effective. On the one hand, there are a number of reasons why building more road can alleviate road congestion.

jams would inevitably be exacerbated.

On the other hand

, it is more effective to build more rail and subway lines. It is clear that nowadays many people travel to work from the suburbs to centre cities. By building trains and subway systems in suburban areas, citizens in these areas would give up their personal vehicles like cars as the train is faster and more convenient.

, would be the practical solution because it was built underground. In conclusion, I believe that governments should prioritize investing in rail and metro lines rather than building more and widening roads. Administrations around the world should encourage citizens using public transports to reduce
