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.

There has been an inclusive debate about whether the government should spend much
money
on constructing new railway lines or not. The supporters claim that building new railroad lines will enhance country transportation to be more convenient for all citizens, while critics argue that the regime should strengthen the existing transport as they are still not accessible for everyone. In my humble opinion, I believe that spending

helps residents to contact one another more frequently and easily. People can come across the city to find new jobs or opportunities or meet their loved ones. These are not only benefits to our social environment but
also
the financial system in which residents can generate
money
from trading or selling their products or services by using the fast train to communicate to their customers or business partners. With only a convenient and fast train, it could provide a better flow of our society and the country's financial system.

constructing new railways for the fast train presents some benefits, it poses drawbacks.
Thus
