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.

A
transport
Suggestion
transportation
 system is a mean by which material objects (animals, humans, and goods) are moved from one place to another. I am totally agreed that more finance should be consumed on railways as compared to other public transports. In ancient times, people had used animals like horses and camels for travelling and even for transporting goods. They had neither reliable nor efficient means of transportation like railways and road transports until the invention of wheel in
19th century
Suggestion
the 19th century
. Presently, wide range of public transports including road vehicles, railways and aeroplanes
are used
Suggestion
is used
 in almost all the parts of the world. Among these,
railway
Suggestion
the railway
 is considered the most reliable source.
This
 is because of the several facts like trains are always
in

 time. They are free from traffic jams and carry
large number
Suggestion
a large number
 of people and goods. While, the money spent on improving existing public transports like vans and buses is
although
 beneficial for both passengers and
environment
Suggestion
the environment
.
However
, it creates some major problems like traffic jams and road accidents and environmental issues in all the big cities. The recent addition of bullet trains and underground train facility in railways has made it the most popular mode of travelling in modern developed countries.
Thus
, it has become the need of the hour to invest more on
railway
 development. If the popularity of
railway
 keeps on increasing
then
railway
 will certainly become the fastest way of transportation in the near future.
Thus
, I strongly believed that
railway
 networks must be upgraded and new tracks should be added rather than investing again and again on existing public transports.
