In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend large sums of money on constructing new railway lines for very fast trains between cities. Others believe the money should be spent on improving existing public transport.

For many people around the world, the preferred method of transportation is high-speed

rail

. Commuters travelling to and from

work

rely on the safety and efficiency, while tourist appreciate the convenience and novelty that trains provide. Others believe that highways, busses and regular trains should be improved before new, high-speed lines are added. Safety is chief among concerns for those who travel to

work

or school on a regular basis. If one drives a car, they have to concentrate on the

road

not only to avoid accidents but

also

to prevent other drivers from causing a problem on the

road

. High-speed

rail

allows the commuter to leave the driving to the professional controlling the train, allowing them to get some

work

done while getting to

work

safely.

In addition

, people tend to move

further

and

further

away from

city centers

Suggestion

the city centre

city centre

, where land and houses are more affordable. High-speed

rail

allows these commuters to travel greater distance in a shorter amount of time. There is a flow-on effect here, because if we can reduce the number of cars on the

road

, we can

also

cut down on traffic jams and

road

delays.

On the other hand

, high-speed trains are expensive, and some believe

this

money could be spent on repairing motorways which are used by cars, busses and motorcycles. Another possibility would be to use

this

money to build more regular commuter trains and busses to service the ever-expanding urban populations.

Moreover

, books and ferries could benefit from a budget, which focuses more on existing forms of transport. In the end, public transport is an issue which affects us all. The taxes which we pay should be spent on the type of transport, which will have the most benefit to all citizens.

In addition

, we need to take into account how much the environment is damaged fossil fuels and pollution.

Therefore

, I believe in order to move forward, we need to embrace the idea of high-speed

rail

, so that future generations can continue to live safely and efficiently.
