In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend large sum of money on constructing new railway lines for veey fast trains between cities. Other believes the money should be spent on improving existing public transport. Discuss both views and give your opinion

A country's prosperity depends on how strong and well-connected its

transport

systems are.

While

some believe that same reason, it is crucial to invest in constructing new

railway

lines for fast connectivity between major cities, others feel that it's a good idea to improve on already present

transport

infrastructure. I personally agree with the latter because the first opinion presented is more expensive and

time

-consuming as compared to the second. On the one hand,

while

it is true that new

railway

lines with super fast trains between cities will help trade, commerce and business,

On the other hand

, improving existing public

will be less expensive and quick to implement.

Firstly

, the infrastructure and technology are already present, they just need improvement which can be minor or major. Minor improvements will be less expensive, as compared to major ones. Once minor improvements like repairing

Some of these changes can be completed within weeks if not days, and these improvements and their effects can be immediately observed by people like road repairs are done, changes in existing buses and bus stops are cleaner and better, encouraging more daily commuters.

investing in a new
