In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend lage sums of money on 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 giver your own opinion
Individuals in some countries believe that spending
money
on bullet trains
is necessary while
others think it is more important to fund existing public transport
. While
fast trains
could shorten the duration of mobility, I believe it is more important to spend more money
on improving existing public transport
, as it is more effective, both socially and economically.
On the one hand, many people
think fast trains
are important because they can shorten travel duration for the passengers. As a result
, fast trains
are considered the appropriate way to increase people
's productivity and promote economic growth due to
their ability to move people
in a short period of time. For example
, the newly constructed Jakarta-Bandung fast train is seen as the solution to improve mobility problems between two big, productive cities, thus
improving the passengers' and regions' productivity. However
, I believe the cost of establishing fast trains
is too much compared to the benefits.
On the other hand
, others think that funding existing public transport
is more important, as it is deemed more cost-effective. As the government only have to focus on the existing public transport
, they can spend less money
and allocate it somewhere more important. Moreover
, they also
do not have to think about shifting passengers' behaviour, as public transport
is already used on a daily basis by many people
. For instance
, many people
consider the money
spent on the new Jakarta-Bandung fast train is not prudent and demand the Indonesian government to spend more money
on existing public transport
, such
as the commuter line.
To conclude
, even though many people
believe that funding fast trains
is important because of the time effectiveness of people
's mobility, due to
the lesser financial and social strains the government have to face, I think the money
should be spent to fund the existing public transport
due to
the economical and social effectiveness.Submitted by aribawadzaki on
