▶ Your Answer : When governments try to spend their money to improve the traffic condition, it is difficult to decide where to use their budget. If I'm in charge of making such decision, I would spend the money on improving public transportation rather than roads and highways because it can reduce air pollution.Also, it helps people to save money.
The first and foremost, governments can reduce air pollution by improving public transportation because people will stop using their own cars. Nowadays, many people have to use their own cars to get to their destinations because there are not enough public transportation. This phenomenon brings about air pollution. However, if government invest thier money on improving publiv transportation, people can use it more than their own car so that the air pollution can be reduced. Since air pollution is mainly caused by emission of polluted gas from cars, governments can reduce air pollution if they improve public transportataion which do not emit much polluted gas as other cars do. For this reason, governments should spend more money on improving public transportation.
Secondly, people can save their money if governments improve public transportation. Generally, when people drive thier own cars, a large amount of money is needed for fuel. Moreover, they should pay for addtional factors such as regular repairing, and safe insurance. However, by using pubilc transportaion, people can save money that they used to spend for their cars. To illustrate, when I commuted to my workplace by car, I spent nearly 50 dollars a day including oil supply cost and fee for the parking. However, after I commuted to workplace by using bus, I could save all of that money. I only spent 2 dollars a day. In this manner, using public transportation helps people to save money. Therefore, governments should spend more money on improving transportation.
To sum up, I believe that there will be many benefits if governments invest more money on improving public transportation because it can contribute in preserving the earth by reducing air pollution and helps people to save money. |
