Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this element.

Some people argue that the government should invest their budget in public

transport

like improving

railways

and stations rather than being invested in roads. On

this

order of ideas,

this

proposal will provide significant benefits to those that are in the need to commute for work, studies and recreational purposes.

However

, keeping a balance between

railways

and roads is the key in order to satisfy the needs of the community in general.

This

essay will discuss a bit

further

some of the benefits that could be reached for citizens. There is a fact that rail

transport

is often considered a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option compared to

road

transport

.

This

is a starting point for the government to promote investment in renovation or increase the route that could be covered by

railways

around cities, interstate connections and all over the country facilitating user commutes in their daily routines. It will reduce congestion in cities because have a higher passenger capacity per trip, which is directly related to the reduction of ecological impact in terms of carbon monoxide emissions.

In addition

, a good plan for

railways

will shape cities and help those living in rural or remote areas increasing their accessibility and mobility with an affordable and safe option for commuting. The

Brisbane

railway renovating systems will offer their citizen in 2025 extra

options

to commute into the city with the development of the new Edward Steet Station, which increases the

options

for those that need to commute from the suburbs into

Brisbane

City and decongestion of the Fortitude Valley and Central Station.

Additionally

, it will stimulate economic growth, provide jobs and enhance trade opportunities. In other order of ideas, all these developments will contribute to increasing tourism making their destination more accessible.

For example

,

Brisbane

where the Olympics games will be hosted, at the moment has been developing and renovating all the

railways

with the aim of providing the best

options

to their citizen in terms of public

transport

and easiest access all over

Brisbane

for the amount of tourist that will be hosted during the Olympic games. In conclusion, I totally agree with the statement that the government should invest part of their

road

budget in

railways

to reduce the environmental impact and increase the mobility

options

for the community but without forgetting the regular

road

maintenance for those citizens and the economic sector that needs to still be users of the

road

system.
