Should governments spend money on railways or on roads? Whether governments should invest money on railway construction or on roads is a disputable question. As far as I can see, investments should be spend on railway rather than roads. There are several reasons why investments on roads is not suggested. First of all, transportation on roads or highway is not environmental friendly as it can pollute the air by the mass emission of vehicles. Secondly, traffic accidents emerge very frequently on the express and can cost people lives quite easily at the risk of high speed of driving. For examples, fatigue drivers, hash weather condition or over-speed driving can all be culprit of many disasters happens on roads. As it is harmful for the environment and can put more citizens’ lives at risk, pouring money into road construction is not suggested by me. I believe that railway constructions is both good for the development of society and can benefit general public. Railways enables cities that far apart to connect with each other , that is, this method of transport builds up a system to bridge the gap between them and then balances the economic progress. In another way, trains are considered and actually are more convenient and faster for people to shuttle. A fact cannot be neglect is that, in China, high speed trains boost the related technology progress and have a considerable impact on linking rural and urban areas. More importantly, every membership of the country is benefit from this clean, quiet and cheap means of transportation provided by the government. In conclusion, considering the wellbeing of people and the development of society , I think that more money should be allocated to railways rather than roads.
