Over the past few decades, it has been
generally argued whether governments should spend more money on improving
public transportation. Some people might think that governments do not have to
invest more money on developing transportation no longer, while others might have
other ideas. However, I am thoroughly convinced that governments should spend
more money on improving transportation. Actually, I have a couple of reasons to
support my opinion, and will show and develop them in the next following
paragraphs below.
The first reason is that it would be helpful
for all people whether they have their own car. First, many students who do not
have their own car will be able to use transportation system well when they go
to school or university. In addition to this, many business people or
salespeople who have their own car can also benefit from the system. For
example, by many people are going to use the system more frequently, it will
help decrease not only the traffic jam on the road but also the accident rate.
Some people might believe that although it would be helpful for students who do
not have their own car, most people who have their own car might not frequently
use the inconvenient transportation system. However, transportation system will
be really convenient in that it is a quite accurate way and has a very reasonable
fare. To give an example of this, my classmates and I usually use bus or subway
when we go to university or some downtowns on weekends. There are several
reasons why we more frequently use these transportation systems than other
ways. First, if we drive our own car, we will have to often pay quite a bit of
money for refueling oil into the car, and it is really expensive for normal
university students like us. Second, bus and subway help us to move to other
regions without any hardship because they have an easy and accurate direction and
indication. Moreover, they also offer a convenient service to us with only a
reasonable fare. When we use the systems, we just have to pay about only one or
two dollar, and then we can go to anywhere at once. Therefore, if government
spends more money on improving and developing the system much better, more
students must benefit from it.
Second reason is that it would be helpful
for improving the environment as well as people’s life. As you may well know,
air pollution’s key factor is methane gas coming from cars. By more people are
going to use such convenient transportation system, it will reduce the use of
fossil fuels that make lots of methane gas, and it will be able to improve the
air pollution problem. Some people might insist that governments had better
invest more money on developing alternative energies and an electronic car in
order to improve the environment. Yet, it is not a practical idea. This is
because such alternative energies would be unfamiliar to public, and the
electronic car will be too expensive for normal people to use well. Meanwhile, transportation
system is now widespread to people from the young to the old, and it will
definitely help improve the environment. For instance, today’s high-tech
transportations like bus or subway are really eco-friendly. Most of buses on
the road today are equipped with natural gas as a fuel rather than oil, and the
buses are really helpful for the air pollution problem. Besides, today,
magnetic-levitational subway has been developed well, and such kind of subway
does not need any fossil fuel which is harmful for the environment. Therefore,
governments should invest more money on improving public transportation in
order to develop such high-tech systems.
