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.

It is widely argued that a large amount of money should be used for the construction of new
railway
lines that operates expresses between cities.
In contrast
, some people insist that the necessity of improving the existing public transporting system. Both opinions are persuasive to some extent, but I agree with the former opinion. If the new
railway
is constructed, it will have a positive impact on the rural
areas
. In recent years, mainly elderly people who cannot drive vehicles by themselves have some difficulties in their daily lives,
for example
, shopping and going to see a doctor, because of the lack of public transportation. The new
railway
that reaches the countryside may solve
this
problem.
Moreover
, the structuring of railways will bring the demand for employees and increase consumption in the
