in a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend sums of money on the construction of new railway lines for very fast trains between cities. other believe that money should be spent on improving existing public transport

There is an increasing amount of debate among individuals, about whether it is best to invest money in erecting new railway lines for rapid trains which can travel among cities, or it is better to put that money into renovating the present public transport.

because they can easily transfer and commute. All in all, both ways are full of plus sides, but when compared, we have to decide which one is more necessary for the notion. In my opinion,
although
providing better transportation for citizens is of great value, renovating the present basis is more important because it is related to people’s daily lives.
