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

#governments #railways #roads
Government has a vital role in the development of any country.
Whereas
,
roads
 and
railways
 are one of them.
However
, some say the state should spend more on
railways
instead
 of
roads
. I believe that it is a safer and smart development for any country to some extent. To commence with,
railways
 are safer than
roads
 and it had seen so rare accidents by trains from the entire world.
Moreover
, trains can carry more people and transit than any other vehicle and reach their destination in the minimum amount of time. To exemplify, Buses and other personal vehicle has to stop at the red light and sometimes they get delayed because of traffic or any crashes on the
road
 or construction on the
road
whereas
, the train has none of these issues. On the other side of it,
roads
 have their own part in transportation or have a major aspect in the supply chain on
this
 planet. To explicate,
roads
 are the only way to reach out to the public.
However
, other modes of transport can do the deliveries from one destination to another.
Therefore
,
roads
 must be well prepared or maintained by the ministry.
For example
,
according to
 a survey America do its 70% of transportation through trucks on the
road
 which has a major role in shipment.
To conclude
,
Road
 and
railways
 both have their own role in transportation.
however
, for individual safety government should spend more on
railways
 to attract people toward it and spend some significant amount on
roads
 to be well maintained and well prepared for transport
as well as
 for people's use.
