In my opinion, governments should spend more money on improving both roads and public transportation because both are of utmost importance in my country. But if only one can be done, then I believe, governments should give greater importance to improve public transportation facilities like buses, trains, subways etc, There are various reasons to believe so, like the greatest of all is public convenience, controls pollution and solves traffic problems.
Public will be most befitted if transportation facilities are improved. Today, in this costly world, all people cannot afford to have a private vehicle. If facilities are improved, then people will have more convenience. Obviously they have to pay the fares of buses and trains but it is comparatively much cheaper to private vehicles. Many times, people don't prefer to use public transportations because of their different time schedules. If more buses and trains are started then people can adjust their complicated schedules even with public transportations. And if more people starts using public transportations then government income will also increase thus will be able to use that money to do other important jobs.
Improved transportation facilities will also control pollution to a great extent. Today due to heavy traffics, air pollution has increased greatly. If people will more use buses and trains then all carbon dioxide coming out of small vehicles will be stopped. At the same time, sound pollution will reduce to great extent. Due to heavy traffics, people have to honk frequently, thus creating sound pollution.
Improved transportations facilities will also solve traffic problems to certain extent. If more people will use buses and trains, traffic will be reduced and if traffic is reduced and then also accident rates will reduce greatly. Also when people use public transportation, the sense of community in them will increase. Slowly and gradually, people will become friends and a peaceful atmosphere will be created.
All things considered, I think improving public transportations facilities will not only increase public convenience and control pollution but it will also make world a better place to live.
