I disagree with that spending money on improving Internet access is more important than spending money on public transportation for the government. Even though, during the pandemic, the Internet helped us a lot, like making remote work and collaboration come true. When life is back to normal, I still believe that public transportation takes a bigger role in many ways.

Firstly, people tend to swarm into the big cities to seek better opportunities nowadays. So the pressures of public transportation skyrocketed with crowed into buses and metros during the commuting hit. For the government, rearranging and constructing the public transportation system is imperative. An efficient public transportation system can reduce people’s commuting time, therefore, they have more time to get a better rest. It also can improve citizens’ satisfaction with life.

Secondly, considering to connection between people, I think the Internet is overestimated. The scene where all people look down at their phone screens and have no communication with others around them is ubiquitous. But public transportation connects people in a practical way. During the Spring Festival of China, tons of people take trains, buses, and airplanes back home to make the biggest annual family union. Without this public transportation, they might miss this union and get lost in big cities.

Thirdly, transportation takes a critical role in economic development, especially for countries with wide territories. Thanks to geological and climate differences, the distribution of energy resources and populations is not according to each other. Take my motherland China as an example, most of the fossil fuels and sustainable energy resources are located in the West, however, the population is concentrated in the Middle and the East. So to allocate energy to places that need it, the Chinese government built a complex and crossed network of rail and road. With the help of the state-level transportation system, China solved the energy shortage problem, assuring development in the long run.

These three above reasons showed why I disagree and the benefits of improving public transportation.

PS. u guys maybe noticed that every time I used the format of ‘These three above reasons showed...’, could u please give me some substitutions
