Government should spend money on rail way rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With increasing population growth and the rising need for travelling, the usage of roadways and railways have seen a surge. Some people claim that the government should spend taxes on the maintenance of rails

timely servicing. Trains are a major part of travel, especially for the middle class. It is often seen that the railways are not properly maintained which leads to inconvenience during travel.

Therefore

be invested for trains and tracks service. To recapitulate, it can be said that the government shouldn't be biased to one mode of transport and equal funding should be spent on both roads as well as track.
