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

It is an irrefutable fact that

trains

are the safest and stress-free mode of transportation.

However

, many

people

still choose cars, taxies or aeroplanes to travel to their destinations. Some

people

believe that the government should invest more funds into railways than roadways. I totally agree with

this

opinion. The following paragraphs will highlight my perspective. Nowadays even in developed countries,

trains

are overcrowded, unreliable and time-consuming. These are the main reasons

people

do not always select

trains

as a preferred transportation mode. Increased funding of the railways would tackle the aforementioned issues.

First

and foremost, more

people

will get into

trains

and leave their cars at home.

Trains

are eco-friendly, and economically efficient compared to cars and aeroplanes. Take,

for example

, vehicles. Carbon dioxide emissions may have a grievous impact on global climate and individual's health.

Additionally

, decreased traffic congestion would deter

people

from experiencing stress, anxiety and anger.

This

would facilitate the improved mental health of individuals.

Secondly

, a developed train network can increase inner tourism and greatly support the economy of the country.

For instance

, the train connecting the ancient Bukhara city and the capital, Tashkent city in Uzbekistan used to take 7 hours. Recently our government has purchased several high-speed

trains

from Italy, now it takes only 4 hours thereby developing inner tourism. To conclude,

trains

are comfortable and stress-free means of transportation. I strongly believe that governments should allocate more money to the development of

trains

, as

this

will improve journey time and make travel more convenient.
