Should governments invest money into repairing roads and highways rather than on public transport?

public transport or roads and highways

There are contradictory opinions on whether the government should invest its monies into repairing roads and highways instead of introducing renewed, modernized public transport, such as buses, planes and subways. I recommend that it finance the works for the former cause. While improving pubic transport holds important, I would opine the betterment of infrastructure is a more beneficial and pragmatic idea for the following reasons:

Firstly, roads and highways encompass usage by more residents in the country and require more support. Not everybody goes by public transport, so the authorities oughtn't to prioritize tending to them. Paving damaged roads precludes such demerits as kids injuring themselves while playing outside or discomfort for citizens in getting around. There needs to be a safer environment for street animals, too, since precarious parts of the toad or a sharp, fragile kerb can lead to them unintentionally cutting themselves on it. Holes in the ground where cars are driven contain waste material from filthy rain or petrol, which is unsanitary for birds and dogs to drink from.

Secondly, it'll be much beneficial for the society to walk on even sidewalk as well as for vehicles so that their drivers retain control at the wheel and avoid accidents on steep and bumpy places. Also, gritting the pathway prevents slipping on ice,

Next, not only do repaired roads benefit the indigenous population but they're also aesthetically pleasing and attractive for tourists, esp. beautifully arranged cobblestones. This is what visitors of the country will be impressed by, not the upgraded quality of the interior of trains.

Despite this, there is another aspect by which covering the expenses of repairing roads outweighs the urgency and worthy of allocating money to improving public transport. Comfortable seats and novel technology inside the underground, for instance, will only give rise to vandalism and irresponsible treatment of the common transport by ill-willed passengers. Users are more likely to deface them whereas who would think of stooping down to wreck the roads?

However, appropriation of pecuniary means on provision of safely functional urban mass transport is also essential , but as they say, improvement starts by laying the groundwork, and then taking care of the rest.

Altogether, I firmly believe the government should focus its expenditure of budget on resurfacing bumpy or snowbound roads rather than on refining the equipment inside public vehicles as it's a more risk-minimizing, practical initiative

Why did you write almost 400 words for a task 2 essay? My guess is that you did not use a timer for your practice writing and failed to realize that you overwrote this essay. You overwrote in the sense that a 40 minute essay, which is focused on proper scoring considerations, will not be completed within 40 minutes using this number of words. This is an opinion paper, not a research paper. You used the wrong writing format, which led to the overwriting in the text. Good attempt though. You at least tried to represent yourself as an intellectual student who knows how to use advanced English words, which would have helped if you had stuck to the discussion points.

The prompt restatement is inaccurate since it makes references to unrelated information. When you indicated


This reference changed the premise of the discussion since it was not originally presented in the discussion. When you wrote the writer's opinion, you clearly stated your opinion but, it really lacks the thesis statement or reasons which are part of the scoring consideration.

Varied punctuation marks are properly used in the essay which will reflect well in your GRA score. However, your extensive incorrect word usage shows that you were not really aiming to pass the test based on proper word usage, sentence development, and clarity of idea sentences. You tried to pass based solely on word count, which is the reason why this essay, though extensive and trying its best to sound intelligent, will get a failing score.
