IELTS Writing Practice Our daily life benefits a lot from modern public transport. It would be quite large investment of public transport construction for local governments regardless of methods of transportation. Some people consider that new railway lines construction for very fast trains between cities should be funded mainly. High-speed rail is faster than vehicles between cities. In addition, it is dangerous for driving too long without rest. In this case, high-speed trains could be safer than traditional transport to some extent. In contrast to planes, bad weather has little impact on high-speed rail. And this guarantees the efficiency of long journey. So high-speed rail will become one of the important means of transportation that is worthy of huge investment. On the other hand, other people think that more money should be availble to support existing public transport. It is a long-term project to establish high-speed rail system. Not only a large amount of money but also sufficient human resource are needed. For this reason, high-speed rail construction might be a huge burden for some developing countries. As for some small countries, it is a waste of resources to construct high-speed rail system. Going somewhere by vehicle would be the best choice. From the perspective of mine, establishment of public transport should meet the demands of different countries, many aspects taken into account. In the long term, building high-speed rail system is necessary for huge geographical countries. But for small or developing countries, it is existing public transport that should be funded mainly.
