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

Nowadays, we can travel to another place in several ways,
for example
, going by car on the
road
or about to the station to take a train. Some
people
said that
governments
ought to spend
money
on
railways
more than
roads

this
idea because of the purpose of the
road
and the budget. Undeniably, the number of

increased. Not only car users, but

walkers are increased.
In other words
,
roads
are more multipurpose than
railways
.
For instance
, in Thailand,
governments
tried to invest in trains more than
roads
.
However
, Thai
roads
have many problems
such
as fragile
roads
, the consequence is vicious travel on the
road
.
For example
,
people
can arrive at another place by walking faster than by car .
Thus
,
governments
should spend
money
on
roads
more than on
railways
.
In contrast
,
railways
are able to improve congestion problems on
roads
because
people
are turning to use
railways
increasingly.
However
, the railway cost is more expensive than the
road
cost. It would be conspicuous consumption that leads to the monetary problem.
For example
, in Thailand,
governments
were spending
money
on
railways
too much. The consequence is that trains

barely improved.
Thus
, the government ought to plan about spending the monetary government carefully when they are thinking to invest in
railways
. To conclude,
roads
are more important than
railways
because of the
road
's purpose. The cost, which is used for
railways
, is expensive.
That is
the reason why I fully disagree with
people
saying that
governments
should spend
money
on
railways
instead
of
roads
.
