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

In

this

day and age, more and more contemporary attention has been placed on the opinion that authorities ought to allocate

money

for

railways

rather than

roads

. In my point of view, I do not subscribe to the idea for the following reasons.

Firstly

, making a huge investment in

railways

is unnecessary, especially in developing nations since

this

will place a great burden on the domestic economy. To be more specific, the possibility of making profits in

this

kind of transportation is not high. With the low amount of

money

from selling tickets, the authority cannot use that one in order to pay maintenance fees as well as other extra ones like paying salary for employees. In

this

case, governments are compelled to use

money

in their fiscal budget in order to maintain the good infrastructure of

railways

.

Secondly

, from my knowledge, spending

money

on

roads

will help tackle traffic congestion, which is one of the most burning problems in many countries.

This

is due to the fact that in today’s world, more and more citizens have a tendency to use their private cars to commute or travel, and as an inevitable consequence,

this

causes traffic tram. In order to deal with

this

issue, the authority has to allocate

money

for expanding the distance of

roads

as well as improving the road quality to meet the increasing number of personal cars.

Therefore

, if the government pour more

money

into

railways

, they will not have enough budget for these improvements, especially in less-advanced nations. In conclusion, with the reasons mentioned above, I strongly believe that the government should spend more

money

on

roads

than

railways

.
