Answer

Many roads have been constructed since 1960s in Japan. Also, very long highways have been already built up throughout Japan. It is apparent that the construction of new roads and highways improved our life style. However, it is unnecessary for Japanese to build up new roads and highways. Despite that, they need to improve public transportations more. There are three reasons why public transportations are more important.

The first reason is that our environment can be kept by using public transportations. When roads and highways are built, people (will) easily drive a car. The number of cars (will) increases. Cars produce harmful gases such as NOx, SOx, CO2. These gases destroy our environment. People have to keep it as well as they develop their life style. They do not have to promote extra cars.

The second reason is that using public transportations is helpful for the old. The number of the old has been increasing in Japan rapidly. They haved better use public transportations, not drive a car. Driving is dangerous for them. However, Iif transportations are not enough, the old can not move easily. For example, it is hard to go to a hospital. Government should declare a manifesto to increase buses.

The third reason is that construction companies waste money every year. It is a very bad problem Japan has. They bury the same roads again and again. That is because they can not get money the next year if they do not use all of money Gthe Japanese government pays. Usually, the month they bury roads frequently is December. Many places are under construction. Every body feels that it is waste of money in this month. Government should use money efficiently.

In sum, Japan should improve public transportations. They give more advantages to this country. It already constructed many roads and highways. The next step is to increase public transportations.
