Spending more
money
 on new
railway
 lines and old public
transport
 is debatable. In some ,countries
people
 believe that it is important to spend more
money
 on new
railway
 tracks between cities, while others argue that it will be better if the old
transport
 system is improved. In
this
, I will discuss both arguments in detail and provide some reasons why spending
money
 on existing public
transport
 is more beneficial.
First
 and foremost, spending
money
 is required for the
construction
 of new
railway
 lines. Travelling by train is an old cost-saving way of transportation. To illustrate, most
people
 prefer to travel by train because it is very cheap but the
railway
 tracks used for transportation are very old and damaged. which may cause some types of accidents. For the convenience of
people
 and to avoid some big accidents, spending
money
 on the
construction
 of new
railway
 tracks for fast trains is very important.
On the other hand
, a huge amount of
money
 is needed for the development of the old
transport
 system. Almost 90% of
people
 chose to travel through public
transport
 which requires maintenance.
For example
, the roads are not suitable for driving.
Additionally
, the buses and other vehicles used for public
transport
 are very old and uncomfortable. To make the journey comfortable for
people
, a handsome amount of
money
 is necessary for the
construction
 of roads and the improvement of vehicles. To conclude,
this
 essay discussed why more
money
 is required for the
construction
 of new
railway
 lines and the improvement of existing public
transport
. In my opinion, spending more
money
 on the development of public
transport
 is more beneficial because most
people
 use public
transport
 for their journey.
