Some people think it is important to wpend on roads and highways than on public transport systems such as railways and trams. To what extent do you agree or diagree?

Some

people

say it is more important to spend money on

roads

and

highways

rather than on public

transportation

systems

such

as railways and buses. I agree there are some advantages and disadvantages in both systems. I will discuss

this

topic comparing each other in the following paragraphs.

First,

roads

and

highways

play a crucial role in our daily lives. Without well-maintained

traffic

roads

, we cannot drive to the nearest drugstores, grocery stores, and hospitals by car

for example

.

Similarly

, we cannot receive any product purchased online as soon as we now do if it were not

highways

because it is usually the trucks that bring us the products anywhere we want.

Therefore

, a certain amount of cost spending is inevitable for local governments in order to preserve the

roads

and

highways

.

Second,

some argue that public

transportation

is needless anymore. They state that they do not need buses, trains, and taxis if we have our own cars. As more and more

people

own their private cars for themselves, public

transportation

cannot gain enough profits for maintenance in some rural areas. In fact, quite a lot of local bus companies and rail companies have started to shrink their service range. It might take little time to eradicate the local public

transportation

system in the future.

However

, I strongly disagree with the idea that

traffic

roads

and

traffic

services far outweigh public

transportation

because we still need it and our heavy

use

of private cars causes some problems as well.

For instance

, whenever we are drunk, we cannot drive a car in Japan as driving in

when we are not in a good health condition.

In addition

, too much

jams, which worsens the air pollution in the city area and leads us to be late for important schedules. In many opportunities, we are recommended to

use

public

transportation

to the destination

according to

this

reason.

Accordingly

, the public

transportation

system is something necessary in our lives which we have to preserve. In conclusion, I strongly believe the expense

as well as

and

for local governments.

Although

there are some merits and demerits for both sides,

people

should understand them and

use

them wisely.
