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. Other believe the money should be spent on improving existing public transport. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Nowadays, it is believed by some that it is essential to spend a noticeable amount of money on the construction of new
railway
lines
for very fast trains
between cities
. However
, others reckon that these resources should be invested in the improvement of existing public transport
. In my opinion, it is best to invest in public transport
first
. In this
essay, both views and the main reason for my opinion will be discussed.
To begin
with, some think that we must invest in constructing new railway
lines
for very fast trains
between cities
. This
can have many benefits for those who travel often. For instance
, many businessmen and businesswomen have to travel constantly between different states and cities
and constructing new railway
lines
can facilitate their travel. Moreover
, trains
are cheaper for travelling between cities
and states and they are also
more convenient and more comfortable than other types of transport
such
as aeroplanes. In contrast
, not many people use this
mode of transport
. Therefore
, a huge investment in trains
may not be a wise choice.
On the other hand
, some reckon that this
investment should be in existing public transport
. expansion in the capacity of public transport
and their facilities is more beneficial. It is best to enhance the quality of buses and subways in the city. Taking Japan ,for example
, they have placed libraries in subways that allow the public to read books and it encourages them to use this
mode of transport
more often. Thus
, many improvements can be seen in public transport
.
To conclude, some think that it is necessary to spend a large amount of money on constructing new railway
lines
for very fast trains
and some reckon that we should use it to improve public transport
. In my view, it is best to focus on public transport
because it has a bigger effect on society. Given the current circumstances, a rise in the usage of public transport
will be seen.Submitted by tsp10majidi on
