In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend large sums of money on constructing 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 opinion.

Construction of railways is debatable. In some countries, people believe that the government should spend huge amount of money for building subways and trains, while others think that it should be spent on improving existing roads.

This

essay will discuss both views and provide reasons and examples why the

first

one is more superior than the latter. On the one hand, constructing railways may solve the problem of traffic congestion, which is a major problem being faced by most countries around the globe.

For example

, when there is an increase number of railways, there will be more subways and trains available for people.

In addition

, it will lessen the use of private cars and public transports

such

as taxi and buses. On the other side, road expansion may

also

help in traffic jams.

However

, due to increasing private vehicles, it may

also

be a problem in a long run.

In addition

, improving existing public transportation is much cheaper compared to fabricating railways.

Although

it does not guarantee a long term result. In my opinion, it is better to invest in railways because aside from helping to ease traffic issues, it

also

lessens the air pollution produced by a large scale of cars and other vehicles.

For example

, in Singapore, they utilized subways and trains more as compared to other type of transportation.

In addition

, it is considered as one of the cleanest countries due to reduced air pollution. In conclusion, it is evident that developing an existing public transportation is cheaper, but building railways are more practical.
