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

In recent years, the easiest way to travel between cities is by using a fast train. Indeed, a country will spend a substantial amount of
money
on constructing a railway whilst others believe that the
money
should be spent to improve public
transportation
. In
this
essay, I will simplify both points of my view based on the topic.
To begin
with, a high-speed rail is now needed to connect from one city to another. It is said that it will be faster and more efficient.
Although
it is going to be more expensive

the constructing, the
next
generation will feel the impact of it.
For instance
, in Indonesia, before it has a high-speed train from Jakarta to Bandung, the public usually drives in the car and approximately will spend 3 to 5 hours on the road.
However
, now individuals do not need to drive longer as it is claimed to be faster and more convenient.
On the other hand
, some people consider that improving the existence of public
transportation
is
also
essential. Many transportations in the big city usually are not in a good condition. So
that is
the reason why the public believes that it is better to improve the existing
transportation
rather than spend too much
money
on the new railway construction.
For example
, the government should pay way more attention to the existing bus
that is
now mostly damaged in the country so travellers will feel more comfortable travelling using public buses. In conclusion, building a railway for fast trains brings more value for some people because it is going to be way faster to travel to its destination.
However
, improving public
transportation
also
hold a significant role because one feels more comfortable using it. I consider that government should have concerned regarding
this
issue that appears on the surface. I believe either spending
money
on constructing a fast train or advancing public
transportation
, both have an impact on a majority of people.
