Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Many
people
think that government should work on railways
instead
of working on roads
. While roads
appeal to a variety of transportation vehicles
, I personally believe that spending on railways
has significantly more benefits compared to roads
.
There are plenty of transportation vehicles
that use
roads
such
as cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles. These kinds of vehicles
can also
be used as private vehicles
. on the other hand
, railways
can be used by undergrounds, trains
, trams, and there are certain times and fixed roads
for such
vehicles
. Compared to private cars, travelling on trains
can be restrictive due to the time and the route. Therefore
, when trains
are used, the time and the route should be arranged before travelling. For instance
, if there is no direct road
to the destination, other transportation might be used, as a consequence, the trip may be longer than normal. Despite the fact that railway travels have various advantages over roads
.
Railways
have defined routes and more capacity for passengers. Hence
there is no traffic jam on railways
and railway vehicles
like trains
can carry more people
. When the number of vehicles
used is reduced, the damage to the environment decreases. To give an example, if a hundred people
use
their private vehicles
, there will be more pollution than when these people
use
the train. Also
, using railways
is more budget-friendly compared to road
vehicles
. Additionally
, railways
are safer than roads
due to traffic and road
layout hereby on railways
, accidents happen less often.
To conclude, while vehicles
which use
the road
and can be private may be more comfortable because the route and the time can be adjusted according to passengers, railways
are environment-friendly, safe, and good for everyone's budgets. Therefore
, I believe that government should invest in railways
