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

Some people claim that governments should invest in

railways

instead

of

roads

. I agree with

this

statement to some extent because of the more environmental and safety benefits that

railways

provide. On the one hand, I admit the

roads

have some potential benefits.

Firstly

,

roads

may be more beneficial in a near destination.

For instance

, in short

distances

companies schedules. In

this

way,they might save time and even money.

Furthermore

, there are a lot of local

roads

which already used by people and renovating these

roads

have less cost than

construction

of a whole new railway.

However

, the advantages of investment in

railways

are remarkably overweight.

First

,

railways

are more eco-friendly than

roads

in various ways. The technology of using electronic trains, which expanded day-by-day, results in less use of natural resources, and

also

this

leads to less air pollution problems.

In addition

, the

construction

of

railways

needs less space than

roads

, meaning less deforestation will happen.

Moreover

,

railways

offer more safety to their users.

For example

, figures in Iran show that accidents are noticeably less common in railway transportations, and while the number of road accidents increases every day,

this

has a reverse pattern in

railways

. In conclusion,

although

the

construction

of

roads

construction

should not be neglected, pororzing

railways

are more beneficial, and

hence

it is more responsible.
