In some countries， people are paying more attention to invest on the railway system than on the road system. To what extend to do agree or disagree with the situation and give your own opinion.
The quality of transportation system has an obvious impact on a country’s development. The investment on roads and rail-ways is now being argued. Personally， developing both in parallel is better suited for a long-term development.
On one hand， road system is indispensable in the short track transportation， within urban areas and linking cities. The reasons are that it’s easier to build but with less costs and less time. Meanwhile， it’s more flexible because the vehicles run faster on smooth roads.
On the other hand， though building railways is more expensive and takes longer， it brings many benefits. For instance， rail-ways are necessary for long-run distance. Besides， if any accidents happen， railways are less dangerous and there is less damage. Moreover， rail-ways are more environment-friendly compared to the traffic jams on roads.
In conclusion， to some level we can choose that we should invest on one of transportations， but for most conditions， building both the rail-ways and roads in the same time are better in this era.
