Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. to what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.

Some people argue that expenditure of government budget should be mainly on the construction of

railway

tracks rather than roads. I agree with

this

opinion as the

railway

tracks will improve public transport and result in economy of

fuel

. The rulers spending money on

railway

tracks rather than roads will result in

fuel

economy.

In other words

, with the development of

railway

people will avoid travelling on roads and

consequently

less

fuel

will be burnt.

This

saving of

fuel

will be useful for the public as it provides them monetary benefit.

In addition

, it will be environmentally friendly as well, which is requirement of time in

this

ever increasing global warming. The burning of fuels releases large amount of carbon dioxide, which is hazardous for the environment so the step of improvement of

railway

system will be beneficial for the environment as well. The improvement of the rail line system rather road will improve the traffic congestion as well. Nowadays every person is in possession of a personal car and prefers to go to job on his own car rather than public transport. The traffic congestion and jams almost always result in employees reaching their offices late which results in reduced productivity. With the improvement in rail tracks in city people will avoid

this

hassle of traffic and reach office fresh and more productive which is not possible with terrible transit jam. In conclusion, the money spent on the railways can prove extremely beneficial for the general public rather than building roads which are responsible for ever increasing pollution.
