In this day and age, some people think it is more important to

spend money on roads and motorways than on public

transportation systems. Although investing in transport
systems brings certain merits , I personally believe that it is
more beneficial to spend money on roads and motorways.

On the one hand, public transport systems may bring some

benefits to the environment and people. Firstly, public
transport systems are beneficial for the environment . This
means that when people use public transport, they produce
less pollutants than using other vehicles. As a result, this can
contribute to improving air quality. Secondly, public transport is
a great choice for many people who do not have private
vehicles. This is mainly because some people cannot afford to
buy private vehicles such as cars or motorbikes. For example, in
Ho Chi Minh City, buses are popular among students and low-
income workers.

On the other hand, I am firmly convinced that the benefits of

diverting funds to roads are more considerable. To begin with,
the road is the most common and the main route in traffic. In
other words the amount of traffic on roads every day is very
large . For instance, in VietNam, traffic jams often occur in large
numbers in big cities such as Ha Noi . In addition, spending
money on roads can help solve traffic problems. Besides, traffic
congestion will be reduced during peak hours.

In conclusion, although financially assisting roads networks and

motorways is not without their compelling arguments, I would
opine that it is also significant to invest more on public
transport systems.
