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

Traffic

congestion and air pollution are some of the two thorny issues that every nation has to confront and try to figure it out. To tackle, people have a proposal that authorities should invest more budgets in upgrading

railway

systems. I completely agree with

this

since I believe that vehicles on the road are the main reason causing these issues.

To begin

with, in recent years, the increase in demand for a modern

railway

system

is burgeoning since dwellers, especially who’re living in the metropolis, are becoming tired of staying in their car and waiting for prolonged

traffic

jams. Beijing,

for example

, the most congested city in the world, has been quite successful in reducing the volume of vehicles on the road by paying more attention to its

railway

system

. The local authorities have been

prioritizing

Suggestion

prioritized

to enhance their

railway

system

condition in terms of increasing the speed level or expanding the interiors to make more comfortable. Of that, citizens’ habits have been changing

instead

of regularly using private cars for commuting, they are now more tending to use

railway

transport. It leads to a result that the city’s

traffic

condition is less heavy than others.

Therefore

, upgrading

railway

systems is an optimal solution to mitigate

traffic

congestion. As important as the argument above, It is obvious to see that emissions gas from private vehicles are one of the main elements contaminating our atmosphere. So, I still have a belief that a modern

railway

system

helps

not only reduce

Suggestion

doesn't only reduce

don't only reduce

road

traffic

but

also

tackle the air pollution problem. Singapore, a good role model in managing environmental problems, by concentrating on enhancing public transportations, most notably are railways, have triumphed in reducing the volume of CO2 emissions in the air to the lowest level (below 8 metric tones even it focuses on the industry).

Hence

, improving

railway

systems is able to solve the short-term as well as long term problems. In conclusion, enhancing the

railway

system

is indeed a future solution to ensure human living and protect the environment. As

this

argument, I believe that human habits could change if governments give them a better alternative method.
