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

#goverments #money #railways #roads
Allocating a budget for
transportation
 fields
such
 as building railways and road
systems
 is important in every place
due to
 society's needs.
Although
 the field in which the government should spend their money is debatable, I agree that spending the funds to build a
railway
system
 would give much more benefit to societies than allocating to the road organization. The
railway
system
 is a mass and fast
transportation
 which can enhance public enthusiasts in using public
transportation
. Nowadays, people tend to commute using their own vehicle because various trains
for instance
 the Mass Rapid Train and the Light Rapid Train, the fastest and comfort
transportation
 recently, are still limited in certain areas
as a consequence
 of the high cost of building more
railway
systems
.
While
 commuting using a bus could not be reliable in time because sometimes the traffic light occurs unpredictably.
Hence
, allocating more money to more
railway
systems
 would make many areas connect and
finally
 encourage public enthusiasts to use public
transportation
. Developing a
railway
system
 is more complicated than building roads.
This
 case happens because the government not only have to prepare the railways but
also
 the train that will run on the railways.
Consequently
, it will take more time and money to prepare the whole
system
. Considering that matter, governments should as soon as possible build the
railway
system
 before many lands and funds will be taken for other purposes.
To conclude
, even though governments should support many kinds of
transportation
systems
, I believe that the government should take the first step in building
railway
systems
 before allocating to other goals because the arrangement is more complex than other
transportation
 and it can degrade the urge to use their own vehicle.
