Nowadays governments are investing more in public transport such as buses and trains rather than in building new roads. What are the reasons for this? Is this a positive or negative development?

In the recent past, authorities are keen in developing public

rather than building roads. One among the many reasons is the increasing pollution due to Traffic and I certainly believe that promoting public

transport

is a positive initiative taken by the

government

. I will substantiate my viewpoint with relevant examples in the subsequent paragraphs.

Firstly

, because of more people resorting to private

transport

, we have been facing a lot of traffic congestion in the recent years.

For instance

, Bangalore is a metropolitan city in India which is extremely populated and famous for heavy traffic issues. Commuting to nearby places during

might take a few hours. Many

workers prefer taking a metro or bus to their workplace as they feel they can reach faster than through roads. Apart from cities like Mumbai and Delhi, they introduced metros in Bangalore and it was very successful.

Secondly

the pollution emitted from these vehicles is detrimental to health and in the long run they cause severe ailments

such

as dust allergy, cancer etc.

For example

, according to a recent survey conducted by WHO in India, it was found out that the air in cities like Delhi and Mumbai has hazardous pollutants and is not safe to inhale. Due to which they recommended to wear masks while on the road.

However

although

which in the long run can affect the environment and health of the people negatively.
