Topic: Should governments spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should governments spend more money on improving public transportation?
Traffic problems are very important issue for governments. Because most of the traffic infrastructures are made by the government and they are in charge of traffic condition in countries. Their policy direction may affect people’s behavior. For example, if public sector chooses to improve roads and highways, then people may tend to drive their own car because they can drive more smoothly on the road than before.
In my point of view, I think that government should spend more money on improving public transportation. By improving public transportation, it can encourage people to take bus or subway instead of driving the car. It will not only provide an economic commute way for the person who does not have a car but also reduce the emission of carbon dioxide from cars. Also, more and more people taking public transportation means that we do not need to build so many parking spaces for car drivers so that our ground can be used for other purposes such as building new schools.

In my point of view, I (you already said "my" don't say "I") think that (you already said "in my point of view") the government should spend more money on improving public transportation. By improving public transportation, it (you need to say "who") the government can encourage people to take bus or subway instead of driving the by car. It will not only provide an economical commute way for the person who does not have a car but also reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (change to "carbon dioxide emissions") from cars. Also, more and more people taking public transportation means that we (you have not been referring to yourself as the government, so use "they" or "the government") do (future tense, "would") not need to build so many parking spaces for cars drivers (the spaces are for "cars" not "car drivers") so that our ground can be used for other purposes such as building new schools.

The Turkish government has good experience in solving traffic problems, for example, every year Istanbul city have new Metro lines beside new bridges on Bosphorus Strait or a highway .

In my country, public transportation is not the government's responsibility. The majority of public transportation is provided by private companies, which may or may not apply for government assistance. There's only Amtrak which is government owned.
