In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend large sums of money 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 opinion.

Transportation is a significant sector for all countries.
Although
some people believe that governments should spend money on railroads to provide new fast intercity
trains
rather than existing public
transport
, others governments should prioritize funding for public transit over
railways
. I am inclined to believe that funding for
railways
should be increased.
Firstly
, in some undeveloped countries, the government cannot supply new transit due to overpricing. They prefer upgrading available public
transport
instead
of constructing new railway lines because it is likely to be more economical. That means funding for transportation can be used for some enhancements
such
as increasing the number of buses, raising the capacity of buses or reducing the cost of transportation.
On the other hand
, fast
trains
provide better access to other cities for passengers where some public
transport
cannot reach. In the other words, the most beneficial feature of
railways
is facilitating
transport
.
Moreover
, it would save people valuable time every day.
For instance
, someone due to their career situation is forced to go to another city each day, so fast
trains
would be a good choice for them. If the government construct
railways
, the community may turn to
trains
or the metro.
Thus
, society will be satisfied. To conclude, I believe funding for railroads over public transit should be an authority priority because railway lines provide better shipment.
Furthermore
, it is predictable that the number of countries which think spending money constructing new railroads rather than improving existing public
transport
will increase over time.
