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.

Nowadays,

transportation

has undeniable uses and importance for any country, especially developed countries. Some

people

believe that

governments

should spend the most proportion of their budget to construct the infrastructures of high-speed

railway

lines for very fast intercity

trains

.

However

, others think that reconstructing and redevelopment of the existing public

transportation

system

should be at the top of the government’s priority. In my opinion, the

governments

should spend money equally on both types of

transport

systems because everyone has their related applications for

people

. On the one hand, the construction of new

railway

lines as the main infrastructure for very fast

trains

between cities could be an enormous development in the

transportation

system

for any government. High-speed

trains

make trips easier for travellers. In the other words,

intercity travel can arrive faster at their destination, and,

also

experience a more comfortable journey because of the main features of high-speed

trains

, including high speed and no traffic congestion. Japan is an obvious sample of a country which developed

this

transport

system

. They construct intercity high-speed

trains

with over 400 km/h speed. So, it provides a convenient condition for travellers to travel faster and easier.

Therefore

, the

governments

allocate a lot of budgets to develop and construct

this

transport

system

.

On the other hand

,

although

the high-speed intercity

system

is an important part of the

transport

system

, there are other types of public

transportation

,

such

as subways, streets, buses, and taxis, that have an essential role in

people

’s life. Generally,

people

use public

transportation

for meeting their daily needs and do their routine schedules.

For instance

, they go to work by subways, go shopping by taking a taxi, or go to school or university by bus. So, improving the public

transportation

system

should have a high priority for the

governments

, and enough budget should spend on its reconstruction and redevelopment. In conclusion,

railway

lines for high-speed

trains

are one part of the public

transportation

system

in every country.

Therefore

,

governments

should allocate an equal budget to construct high-speed

railway

infrastructures and improve other public

transportation

elements because every one of them has its importance and specific applications in today’s life.
