Some people believe government should spend money on building train and subway lines to reduce traffic congestion. Others think that building more and wider roads is the better way to reduce traffic congestion. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

These days,

cities
. While some

this
problem could be tackled by expanding and improving the road system. On the one hand, there are several reasons why

traffic
jam problems. One reason is that since
such

On the other hand

will alleviate

congestion. The existing
roads
are obviously inadequate to provide the space for the increasing number of cars, particularly in city centres. In big
