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. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Transportation has been

one

of the key issues in most overpopulated countries. Most officials would want to spend and improve an existing public while others would want to build a new

one

that could cater fast moving trains. The viewpoint of people who want to improve an existing

one

is because it can be much cheaper compared to making a new

one

. In planning the new railway system, it would take a lot of time

making the layout, to materials needed and of course, trying to find multiple investors that would pitch in for the project. The budget for the railway can be allocated to the construction of new residential houses for the poor and additional schools in the rural areas. In my opinion, refurbishing present transportation system can be a short term remedy for traffic congestions and at the same time it would improve the cities or local industry. Less traffic means more income because, commodities will not be delayed and it

increases efficiency. If they decide to establish a railway system that extends far beyond city limits,

could help the rural areas in a lot of ways.

First

of all, you will decrease the number of public transport used alongside with the use of trucks for transportation of goods. In return, it decreases a lot of gas emissions, transportation of products from the provinces are easily transferred to city markets and more perishable goods will be available since trains make it more convenient.

This

also

allows the farmers to increase their income, no need for middlemen as well. People will decide to live outside the city since going to work is convenient through high speed trains. Both of these views have great benefits for the masses and still

trains that can extend to the provinces could help not just the local government but the whole country. Let’s think of a solution that has a long-term effect rather than settling for a band aid solution.
