Government should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extant do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Nowadays, connectivity is the main factor in the development of a country. Some

people

argue that governments should spend less amount of money on

roads

and focus more on

railways

. In my opinion, Government should allocate more resources towards building and expanding

roads

than

railways

. In

this

essay, I will explain different reasons to support my statement.

To begin

with,

Roads

are more important than

railways

because

roads

are used by common men who belong to all classes of society. Because of

roads

, the daily life of

people

becomes easier as they use

roads

to

travel

to hospitals, schools, markets and airports. All these before-mentioned facilities cannot be reachable using

railways

because most of the time

railway

is used in the

city

to

city

travelling and within the

city

to build and

maintain

Wrong verb form

maintaining

show examples

a

railway

network is more costly than

roads

.

Secondly

, More

people

prefer to

travel

by using their own transport

such

as cars or motorcycles because it will save time.

On the other hand

, if they use

railways

then

they have to schedule their travelling plan in advance and

that is

difficult to manage in today's busy lifestyle.

In addition

, by using

roads

they can

travel

anywhere at any time but

that is

not the case with the

railway

.

In contrast

, some

people

claim that the

railway

is cheaper than private transport and if more

people

start using the

railway

then

traffic will be reduced significantly on the

roads

and that will help society in many ways

such

as the carbon footprint will be reduced, cities will become more peaceful because very less amount of cars and busses will be on the

roads

. In conclusion, spending more on

railways

rather than

roads

will not be beneficial for the government Because both

railways

and

roads

have different purposes.

Railways

are more useful for transporting goods and most

people

used

railways

for travelling between cities but

roads

are more useful within the

city

for various factors discussed above. In my humble opinion, the government have to spend more budget on building and maintaining

roads

because

roads

help

people

to

travel

faster.
