In some countries, some

 think that the government should spend enormous sums of

 for express trains between cities. While some others claim that sums of

. I agree that the government should spend
money
 on the new

, but I
also
 think that it is necessary to improve existing

.
Firstly
, each country should take a look at the

 for trains because it will be easier for them to travel to work, schools, etc. But if the existing public

financial issues to select the most suitable plan. On the one hand, developed and developing countries will have more
money
 to construct new

lines
 to satisfy people's requirements.
On the other hand
, undeveloped countries with unstable financial conditions should concentrate on improving the existing
transport
. In conclusion, either spending a big amount of
money
 on constructing new
railway
lines
 for the express trains between cities or using that amount of
money
 to improve the existing
transport
 is necessary. But how to choose the perfect solution totally depends on what the
citizens
 need and the economic situation of each country.
