Nowadays almost all developing
cities
are spending more money on
roads
and
motorways
than on their public transport system. On Form one hand, is necessary to have new
roads
, but
on the other hand
, these
cities
becoming more crowded. Above I am going to explain why I believe is more important to spend money on public
transportation
instead
of
motorways
or
roads
.
Firstly
, no one doubts that we have to spend money on the yearly maintenance of the
roads
. If the
roads
or the
motorways
are being damaged
then
transportation
will have problems.
Cities
have to provide a good
transportation
system for their residents, so as to unblock the city centres for cars.
Secondly
, If everybody uses public transit systems for their daily
roads
, we are going to reduce fuel use. So, we are going to have clean air, our planet will make a startup by decreasing air pollution. We all have the right to move freely between
cities
or even countries. We don't all have the capital to buy cars, so public
transportation
is a must. Developing
cities
,
also
are facing big problems with spare places. So if you are using your own car, you may have difficulty finding parking. And talking about parking, that means, fewer parks, less green. That's why the majority of big
cities
are all over covered by concrete. In conclusion, I definitely believe, that governments have to focus on new ways of public transit systems, but
also
spend capital or funds on maintaining the existing
roads
and
motorways
. With these, we all can have comfortable trips, but
also
, a planet with less pollution.
