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.

In multiple countries, some folks argue that it is required to spend more money on building new railroads for fast

trains

while

others believe that money should be invested in improving existing public

transport

.

This

essay will discuss both aspects and my personal perspective is that current

transport

issues should be sorted out prior to creating new railways.

Firstly

, introducing new fast-moving railway systems to a country could be beneficial to the public as it leads to saving time. Nowadays, people spend more time travelling to and from work every day.

For example

, Sri Lanka which uses old

trains

and railways takes considerably more hours to travel between cities.

As a result

, travellers lose valuable time that they can be utilized for work or for families. Modern faster locomotives and tracks could solve

this

issue to a significant level.

Secondly

, most modern locomotives operate via electricity and magnetic-based energy, which reduces fuel consumption. Fuel-based

trains

are comparatively less efficient and they pollute the air quality.

This

would be sorted with the arrival of modern

trains

.

However

, the cost is sky-high to bring up a new railway

Instead

, if that money can be invested in current public transportation, it would be more beneficial. One reason for

that is

the number of people who use other public

transport

is higher; so that more will get advantages. For an instance, a train can

transport

passengers only between long distant cities. But buses can travel for short distances. So that those short distance travellers could get advantages if the roads and busses can be improved.

Also

, traffic could be reduced by improving existing public

transport

.

For example

, many people use their personal vehicles to travel in Sri Lanka, as the current public

transport

methods are unsatisfying.

As a result

, traffic has increased dramatically

rush hours. If the government can improve current issues, they can solve traffic issues which indirectly benefits saving fuel and capital.

To conclude

,

it is clear that

both aspects of introducing new locomotives and improving current transportation can bring more advantages.

While

improving existing systems could have extra benefits for society.
