Should governments spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should governments spend more money on improving public transportation (buses, trains, subways)? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.
There are 2 choices of traveling by vehicles. The first one is traveling by private transportation such as cars and motorcycles. The second one is traveling by public transportation such as buses, trains and subways. In my opinion, the governments should sponsor and spend more money on improving public transportation because it will decrease the problems of traffic jam, air pollution and economic failed.
I am a Thai living in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. Bangkok is notorious for the traffic jam and the air pollution caused by the discharges from many cars on roads and highways. Consequently, money people pay for importable cars including oils is so high that brings the inside money went out to abroad. These problems increase continually because of the increment of personal cars, the low standard of controlling the smoke from exhaust pipes and the limited public transportation. If the public transportation was improved, citizen will turn to travel by buses, sky trains or subways higher. As we know, at the same distances, traveling by sky trains is faster than by cars so, traveling by sky trains is a better option. After the public transportation is more popular, the increment of private cars will be decreased resulting in the flowing traffic and cleaner atmosphere. Additionally, the money paid for importable cars and oils is reduced that will make better economic growth.
Until now, Thai government has been spending money on improving more public transportation for example, the latest success one is sky train called “BTS”. I have found that it helped people comfortably travel in crowded areas. And in the next couple years, Thailand will have a subway which is under constructed now.
In conclusion, governments should spend more money on improving public transportation because it will decrease the problems of traffic jam, air pollution and economic failed.
