Many people believe that the government should focus on improving public transport rather than building new harbors. I agree with this statement because urban cities face significant ecological problems due to the increasing number of vehicles, which leads to traffic jams.
Firstly, one of the major issues facing the world today is air pollution. A primary contributor to this problem is carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from vehicles. Using public transport, such as buses and trains, is more convenient and economical. For example, in Kazakhstan, it is common for each household to have two or more cars, which requires significant amounts of oil and fuel.
Secondly, cities are experiencing more traffic jams compared to other countries. The increasing number of cars creates an economically critical situation. By using public transport, people can positively impact the economy. It can help the government generate more revenue while reducing traffic congestion. For instance, Britain is known for its iconic red buses and has implemented limits on car sales, which helps manage traffic. In contrast, our country allows cars from various countries at different price points, leading to increased traffic. In daily life, it can take up to one or two hours to return home due to heavy traffic.
In conclusion, it is better to invest in public transport rather than expanding road infrastructure.
