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

Transportation is one of the vital sectors for any country and the government is required to spend money for its development and maintenance. There is an ongoing debate whether should transport authorities be spending more money on trains

instead

of road systems. I completely agree with

this

idea as in my view establishing well-infrastructured railway systems can omit many issues.

To begin

with,

firstly

, metros should be constructed, as

this

can reduce

traffic

density to a large extent in cities. Nowadays,

people

are preferring to have their own vehicles due to lack of proper public transport in relation to the time and location of the stops.

For instance

, if tubes are built, an increasing number of

people

will prefer to commute by trains thereby decreasing

traffic

congestion.

Secondly

, noise and air pollution caused by

this

huge

traffic

on

roads

are hazardous for public health. Subways can greatly reduce

this

problem,

hence

, helping for a cleaner environment.

Thirdly

, trains connecting between cities can provide a cheaper option to travel in less time.

Likewise

, there are some reasons why

roads

should be given importance too.

People

cannot always travel by train,

for example

, just for shopping or family outings. In relation to

this

,

roads

should be well maintained so as to avoid accidents and for the better safety of the

people

.

Moreover

, many folks walk on the

roads

to get from one place to another, so there must be the proper construction of pedestrians, footpaths, etc with useful warning signs and

traffic

lights to control the

traffic

.

For example

, if one of the

traffic

signals is not working in order

then

it can lead to serious accidents on

roads

. To conclude, according to me investing in both areas is crucial but spending more amount on the railway system is beneficial. As already mentioned it can remarkably reduce the grave concern in today's modern world owing to

traffic

and pollutions caused by the large number of vehicles running on the road.
