Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Some people say that national authorities should invest more finances in constructing railways, rather than roads. I strongly agree with
this
statement, because trains are the safest and eco-friendly way of travelling, Linking Words

with cars, which increase air pollution and the risk of crashes.
When the governments spend more money on building and improving the road system, Linking Words

simply leads to a rise in automobile usage with all the additional drawbacks. The most significant negative outcome is the carbon dioxide pollution which cars are causing every day, Linking Words
in addition
to the higher frequency of car crashes on the roads. Linking Words
For example

On the other hand
, if the national authorities put their money into railway construction and development, Linking Words
this
will, I believe, increase the utilization of the train system. A train is the fastest and the most approachable way for a person to travel from one place to another and, Linking Words
