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

In recent decades, a delay in public transportation systems and long travelling times are common concerns in many metropolitan areas throughout the world. It seems that

governments

should provide assistance for

this

phenomenon rather than citizens' efforts.

This

essay will discuss the causes of

this

issue and suggest possible solutions to improve the circumstance.

To begin

with,

due to

the tendency of individuals to prefer commuting by a private car, significant

traffic

congestion which results in

transport

delays and long journey times is becoming prevalent in cities. Another reason is that narrow

road

conditions

also

significantly affect unexpected postponement of buses because of the difficulty of changing lanes, which makes the other vehicles slow down.

For instance

, a transportation department in the USA proves that the roads in most countries are relatively narrow, compared to a massive amount of

traffic

.

Therefore

, it is essential for

governments

to support in order to improve

this

situation. The possible solution would be that if

governments

start allocating high taxation on the usage of personal vehicles and promoting eco-friendly

transport

such

as bicycles with subsidies, the high volume of

traffic

will be reduced naturally.

In addition

,

this

phenomenon of the decreased number of vehicles on the

road

will significantly bring positive effects on environmental issues as well.

Furthermore

, the construction of the

road

which is only available for public

transport

such

as buses, and taxis will comparatively improve the

road

condition.

For example

, public

transport

roads have been implemented for a few years in Australia, it reduced

traffic

congestion and journey time during rush hour. In conclusion, the intervention of

governments

is strongly in need of improving

overall

aspects of

traffic

conditions.

Consequently

, To minimise the number of

transport

delays and long journey times,

governments

ought to implement legacies and consider building public

transport

roads.
