"Should government spend more money improving roads or should they spend more money improving public transportation?"
This article was talked about I-15 CORE project that major highway passes through Utah. If we built the load we can save our time about amount of distance. Moreover, some people expect to built that, but rest of people feel that is not necessary. Also, current highway is so old, they said that we need to repair about that.
ReplyDeleteFrom my point of view, the Goverment should spend money in both cases as much as improving roads and improving public transportation. It is a great idea to have better transportation to travel around utah because it will decrease the traffic considerily and you will be on time to your destination. Improving public transportation will be the best resource for people that do not have cars to travel, because there are many people that want to see the state but they cannot because of the lack of a good transportation service. Nevertheles roads have to be in good condition as well that is why the Goverment has to spent money on road maintence too.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I agree government should spend more money improving public transportation because it will make more convenient for travelers. But, I think Americans like drive their own car on good condition road. Therefore, I think government should spend more money improving roads because it benefits business and saves people's time.

ReplyDeleteI think the government should spend more money improve public transportation.I feel it is really hard for people live in Utah without car. It`s like you have been blocked from outside. The truth is more people buy cars and more traffic jams. So I think the government should spend money on public transportation, making more convenience for public.
ReplyDeleteI think the government should spend money improving public transportation. There are many people who have a car. But there are also many people who don't have a car like me in Utah. So, it is important to improve public transportation for traveler and international student even American people.
