Should the government spend more money on improving roads and high-ways or should the government spend more money on improving public transportation ?
I think they should focus on updating and modernising public transport, since the road system in Vietnam is quite good. In Vietnam, the most used form of transportation is the motorbike. People are not familiar with using public transportation because the system is not good enough, or safe enough to use, also it is not convenient for everybody to use it while in other countries. Public transport has proven itself very helpful in reducing traffic jams and accidents.
In Vietnam, the public transport is not in a very good condition. People using this kind of transport usually have to worry about the quality of the car or the carefulness of the driver. The government should spend more money in buying new buses to replace the old ones so that people will feel safe when they use them.
Besides, the publicservice is not convenient for people to use. The city bus is the public transport that is most used in Hanoi, but it just runs in some main streets of the city, not all of the streets. Therefore, people have to go very far to get to a bus stop to catch it if they want to use it. So if the government spend more money to buy more buses and extend the area that the bus can serve, there will be more people happy to use it.
Vietnam is considered one of the countries that has the most dangerous traffic in the world. The crucial reason is that we use so many motorbikes. Public transport would be a potential solution for this problem. That is why I think the government should spend as much money as they can to improve it , and alsothey shold execute that plan as soon as possible.
I have used the city bus for many years in my time at college, but now I no longer use it because of the bad quality and the inconvenience of it. The nearest bus stop is 15 minutes walk from my company, and the air-condition in the bus usually break down. If these problems were solved, I would definitely use the city bus again, because I believe that the less motorbikes we use, the less traffic jams and accidents that will happen. _________________ If you need me, I'm here. |
