Some people think it is more important to spend money on roads and motorways than on public transport systems. To what extend do you agree?

It is argued that

money

should be spent on developing roads and motorways rather than on public

transport

systems. Personally, I think both thoroughfare and public transportation systems have vital roles to play in modern society, and

therefore

should be equally invested in. On the one hand, better roadway quality increases the level of safety and reduces traffic congestion. In many cities and provinces in Vietnam,

for example

, the number of subway accidents has been ever-increasing because there are a lot of holes on the trail’s surface.

This

is a clear evidence that the government should spend

money

improving the quality of boulevard systems in order to ensure the safety of people.

Additionally

, building wider roads and more motorways in big cities like Ha Chi Minh, where traffic congestion is still a major problem, will help to increase thoroughfare capacity. It means that there will be more space for a larger number of vehicles,

hence

reducing pressure on the city’s main roads as well as congestion.

On the other hand

, better public

transport

systems are beneficial for the environment and people who do not have a private vehicle. In fact, some modes of public

transport

like subways produce less pollutants than cars and other private vehicles.

Therefore

, spending

money

providing people with access to public

transport

will improve air quality and reduce pollution.

Furthermore

, for those who do not have a private vehicle,

such

as motorbike or car, buses and subways are a great choice if they have to travel every day. By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirmed the position that,

money

should be well-spent on not only the road but

also

public

transport

systems.
