transportation?
Roadways have always been the hallmark of any great
civilization The Indus Valley, Mesopotamian, Roman and many other great civilizations have found a place in the
history books because of their efficient roadways which helped in mass movement of goods and people These civilizations are long gone but they have left behind their mark to the future generations Roadways and later highways have developed significantly since then They are an integral part of any country, district, town or any other place for that matter Public transport too is increasingly
important and is a great service to the masses but it is not as
necessary for a government with a limited budget to spend as much money on public transport as it does on roadways and highways as they are not nearly as important as roadways
Public Transport would not exist if not for a proper and efficient structure of roadways and highways If not for roadways people in many areas would be immobile and unable to reach other place or even find other locations This would result in great economic and cultural losses as people will not be able to travel for tourism,
business, emergencies and other purposes With these losses there pressure on the government due to mass unrest among the public Public transport cannot be the government`s response as there will
be vehicles but no basic infrastructure that is roads for the vehicles
to travel on Hence the conclusion must be that development of roadways and highways as a priority should be higher than that of the public transport system
