Those who consider fast transportation might say that governments spend more money on improving roads and highways. However, I think government spends more money on improving public transportation. There are two reasons.
First, public transportation help to reducing air pollution. Many highways and roads might also allow to fast travel. However, it is not help to conserve environment, but cause to destruct environment and our Earth. By enlarge to build public transportation, we can positively affect to our environment not only reducing air pollution, but also conserve our environment.
As our society getting more complex, our Earth is more destructive. What matters nowadays is not build new roads and highways, but to decrease the environment problems. We can diminish the environment problem like air pollution by using transportation.
Moreover, as far as traffic jam is concerned, it is better to government spend more money on improving public transportation. Although you could think that building highways and roads also reducing traffic jam, you may not deny that public transportation is more useful to many people like students and elderly people who don’t have private car. From helping to prevent from wasting much time on moving to somewhere to helping to save money by using many people together, transportation is more useful to our lives than many roads and high ways.
In summary, I disagree with the statement that to improve roads and high ways is better than to improve transportation. It is because public transportation beneficial for reduce air pollution and decrease the traffic jam.
