In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend large 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 give your own opinion.
Some people believe that governments should spend a plenty of fortune on establishing new
high-speed rails for citizens while others regard that it would be proper as governments to
improve the transportation which has already existed. In this essay, both sides will be
discussed further, and a conclusion will be drawn.
Proponents, who believe to
develop new railway lines, claim that would bring benefits to make our life become much more
convenient. The transportation system in Taiwan, for example, provides several approaches
for individuals to travel between cities, including the trains and high-speed rails. People
spend about six hours traveling to the south of Taiwan from the north of Taiwan by taking
the former, whilst the latter helps people to save considerable time, more than four hours
on commuting. Besides, a number of people chose to have the work kept a long distance from
their home nowadays and the requirement convenient transport is
necessary.
Opponents, conversely, approve to improve the original ones, argue
that they are convenient enough since governments add the routes and adjust the working
schedule.
The MRT in Taipei, for instance, is welcomed by citizens because it
provides the stops completely around Taipei and New Taipei cities with efficiency. The
shortage for It is not working for 24 hours and the routs are quite few in some districts.
If these demerits were revised, the residents would not need the new transport
system.
In conclusion, in my opinion, establishing new transport system or not
varies from city to city. In the cities with lower developed transport system, the
governments may add extra transport facilities to accelerate the interaction with other
cities. However, those have already developed a well-established transport system and the
governments can just repair the original one instead of developing the new ones.
