Government should spend money on railways rather than roads

Transportation

is playing an important role in the development process of every nation. I agree with the idea of the government governments investing more money in railway systems rather than roads.

Firstly

,

railways

help to protect the environment. Improving roads amounts to encouraging the public to use cars. The more cars on the road, the more carbon emissions.

However

, if governments spend money constructing

railways

, be they subways or tram lines, more people would use public transports

transportation

instead

of private cars when travel travelling.

This

is good for the environment since public

transportation

has much lower per capita carbon emissions than private vehicles. So that, we can reduce one of the serious environmental problems, global warming by reducing the level of carbon dioxide gases.

Additionally

, the number of people with lung diseases can be decreased.

Secondly

, railway networks help to develop the economy. When a country has rail networks, it will positively affect the logistic cost. The selling price of many goods would be cheaper. It makes exchanging and buying goods more convenient. Thanks to railway networks, people can buy goods everywhere easily. When the businesses are successful, it helps promote economic development. In conclusion, government spending should be on

railways

rather than roads. For one thing, improving

railways

encourages the use of public

transportation

and

therefore

benefits the environment. For another,

railways

play a key role in economic growth.
