Transport delays are a widespread phenomenon in many cities today. What are the causes of this problem, and how could the situation be improved?

In recent times,

people

and companies are experiencing

transport

delays

which are causing money loss. There are several factors that are affecting these

delays

and a few of them are over congestion of roads and natural calamities.

This

essay will discuss the above measures in detail and how we can

further

improve the situation to minimize these

delays

. The major factor affecting

transport

delays

is overpopulation which is causing

traffic

jams.

Traffic

jams can occur due to various factors/reasons like accidents, narrow highways or unconstructed roads which leads to slower

traffic

.

For example

, in 2015, a minor accident on

highway 53 from San Diego to Los Angeles caused

congestion for hours.

This

caused travellers and companies major losses.

Moreover

, natural disasters like tsunamis and tornadoes are other factors that cause major

transport

delays

.

This

results in loss of connectivity and

transport

delays

in main cities or areas. There can be different ways to deal with the problem of

transport

delays

in cities. To prevent

delays

people

should use public

transport

like metro rails which save a lot of time as compared to travelling by own vehicle. Using shared vehicles for commute allows

people

to use fewer vehicles which

then

results in less

traffic

on roads.

Also

, Government should introduce effective schemes for those who carpool.

For example

, in the USA government has built HOV lanes for 2 plus

people

travelling in a car.

This

allows

people

to save time from

traffic

jams which cause

delays

.

Furthermore

,

people

should plan ahead of time which can prevent them from getting stuck due to bad weather.

Hence

, by following a few rules, the situation of

delays

can be improved. To sum up, the phenomenon of

transport

delays

has been a serious issue in the era of increasing population.

Thus

, the quicker we address

this

issue, the better we can minimize the losses we are having from

delays

.
