Government should spend more money on railways than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Transportation is an integral part of our modern world, and an enormous number of commodities and passengers are translocated every day through roads, railway systems, or aeroplanes. Some people believe that governments ought to spend their budget mostly on railway systems rather than roads; I highly disagree with

this

notion because of two reasons which I am going to explain in the following paragraphs.

To begin

with,

although

the more people use public transport

such

as the railway system, the less pollution will make, there are some places where it would be impossible or nonsense to go by train or subway;

for instance

, hardly ever would be a rail line which could connect Asia to the United States inasmuch as they have become separated by the vast wide of the oceans. Another example is that there is no train or other similar system for transportation within small cities or villages, or maybe there is no chance to construct railroads in some regions because of their impassable situations like mountainous and remote villages.

Therefore

, spending money on railroads rather than on other methods of transportation is not an apt action from

this

perspective. Another reason for my belief is that travelling by the railroad system can be more time-consuming than other methods. To incite example, travelling from Ahwaz to Rasht takes about forty hours, while

this

distance can be easily travelled by aeroplane in just two hours;

accordingly

, if someone wants to arrive at the destination sooner, utilization of the railroad route could be more time-consuming than are other ways like travelling by a private car, bus, or aeroplane;

consequently

, faster travelling ways are available for many destinations. To sum up, concerning the necessity for authorities to spend money on railroads

instead

of roads, I highly disagreed with

this

point of view regarding the above-mentioned reasons which have been described in the above paragraphs.
