Governments should spend time on railways rather than roads.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Nowadays, people

use

different modes of

transport

to move from one place to another. A lot of individuals

use

road transportation on a daily basis, and for

this

reason, I fully disagree with the notion that government should spend resources on railways

instead

of

roads

. The essay below will discuss

this

view at length.

To begin

with, developed countries mostly

use

trains when commuting,

this

is the total opposite in developing countries where buses and cars are used as the main transportation

system

. In both locations, road accidents are still higher than those on the

railway

.

For instance

, a study by Stan Fo in 2017 found that about 92 per cent of accidents happen on

roads

while only 4 per cent happen on railways and the remaining percentage in other areas.

This

is because most

roads

are not in good condition and need to be repaired.

Therefore

,

this

is a reason enough to disagree with the idea of paying attention to the railways as it has

accidents.

Furthermore

, in most African countries

railway

transport

system

does not exist,

thus

they mostly

use

road

transport

.

For instance

Zimbabwe,

railway

transport

is not used because the trains and even the rail line lines need to be fixed and that would take decades because of the poor economic

system

in the country. It is

therefore

better to fix

roads

for the safety of people and forget about developing the track

system

since the current government has failed to do so in the past 40 years after attaining freedom.

Thus

, I fully disagree with the statement that the government must give time to develop rail

line

lines

show examples

. To conclude, those in power must put more money and time into developing

roads

instead

of rails because a lot of people

use

roads

when commuting. Developing a

railway

system

might take forever ,especially in Africa. These and other issues are discussed above.
