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.

In numerous nations, it is believed by a few sections of society that it is essential to spend big amount of money on building new railway lines for rapid trains between cities, while others believe that

this

cash should be used to improve existing public transport.

This

essay will present both sides of the argument and

then

I will present my own perspective being that the government should improve existing public transportation. On the one hand, it is thought by some people that the new railway line for rapid trains are necessary and

that is

why it is prominent to invest large sums of cash for that. The main reason for

this

is that it can reduce the pollution caused by several public vehicles.

For instance

, as the very fast train will reduce the travelling time, more and more people will be encouraged to use

this

transportation to travel.

This

in turn not only reduce pollution but

also

present an opportunity to save the natural resources used as fuel by the several vehicles.

Thus

, making it absolutely essential.

On the other hand

, the reason why some people believe that

this

fund should be invested to improve the already available public transport is that, by

this

money many existing vehicles can be improved which will benefit a large number of population.

For example

, in many countries,

although

public transit is seen as environmentally friendly, many old buses produce a lot of smoke, and

this

could be solved by spending money on electric buses that do not produce harmful emissions.

Furthermore

, current public transport is what people use every day, so it makes sense to improve

this

rather than build a new system that might not be used so much.

Finally

, in my opinion, a high-speed rail system is a great way to connect a country and even a group of countries.

However

, it is better to improve the current system to a high standard before taking on a new plan.
