Although

 believe that it is important to spend a lot of

 on constructing new railway lines for fast trains between cities, others strongly argue that
money
 should be spent on improving existing public transport. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both the above-mentioned views and will present my own opinion. On the one hand,

 outcome if governments spend

Therefore
, spending on railway lines will result in convenience for the general populace.
On the other

 those who think that
people
 should spend capital on already established infrastructure relating to public transit will have some productive consequences. When a government takes an initiative regarding the development of new means of travelling, it requires a lot of manpower and investments.
Nevertheless
, at the same time, it can utilise those workers and
money
 to ameliorate the constituted public transit.
For example
, they can invest in transforming established public transport into a high-capacity transportation system. That would surely cope with the burgeoning population in the cities.
Hence
, investments in the existing transportation system will not prove futile. In a nutshell, even though there are benefits of streamlining trains in an urban centre which is now crowded to a great extent, I inferred that it requires a great deal of capital, manpower, skilled personnel and heavy machinery. So, it would be more auspicious if a government plans to restrengthen the public transport which is already in use. After a thorough analysis of
this
 subject, it is predicted that governments will prefer to invest more
money
 in the already-established rail infrastructure.
