Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extend do you agree or disagree with these statements.

It is undeniable that transportation is paramount for all countries in the world and has been debatable that governments ought to spend

money

on

railways

rather than

roads

. Despite investing

money

in

railways

is important, I think the government should be allocated the budgets for

both

as

roads

are

also

vital for commuting. On the one hand,

roads

are important for commuters and they should be improved like other

transports

.

Although

subways are important, people still need to

use

the

roads

for many purposes.

For example

, people who own cars will prefer to drive on

roads

instead

of public

transports

.

Moreover

, as for pedestrians or others buses transportations need to

use

roads

and it will need to be improved. Traffic jams can be reduced by building new

roads

which are able to access the central city.

Thus

, governments should invest in it like other transportations.

On the other hand

, spending

money

on

railways

is

also

crucial for passengers.

In other words

, most commuters

use

trains to get to their destinations because it is faster and cheaper than other

transports

.

For instance

, almost 75% of people are using the trains to get to the places where they want to go and the government spent the budget on it by creating new

railways

line to reach the markets or some landmark places or maintaining them regularly in Singapore. So, allocating

money

for

railways

is

also

fundamental for passengers. To sum up, I agree that governments ought to

use

money

equally for

both

transports

as

both

railways

and

roads

are essential

transports

and commuters will still need to

use

both

.
