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

It has become a common problem nowadays where people have to allocate

time

for at least double the amount of their original

time

if they want to reach

one

place on

time

. There are various possible reasons that can explain

this

situation and

this

essay will try to explain a few

along with

its

solution

.

Firstly

, it is undeniable that the

number

of private transport keeps increasing throughout the years.

Due to

its simplicity

along with

the affordable cost of gas,

one

individual could own at least

one

car or motorcycle.

This

phenomenon increase traffics and impacts public

transportation

which is provided by the government.

In addition

, the limited

number

of public

transportation

and its bad

management

also

play a role in causing the delay problem.

For example

, the ways that were specifically created for busways in Jakarta, are often used by the public.

Hence

, it is impossible for them to arrive on

time

.

Furthermore

, some routes only provide a bus once every hour, which means that we have to wait for another hour if the previous bus is full.

One

clear

solution

is to increase the

number

of public

transportation

, which can be possible through taxes that are collected by the government. Another possible

solution

is to correct the

management

of these public accommodations.

For example

, in Tokyo, the metros and trains are available every 1-2 minutes and have been well managed for quite some

time

. By doing that, more and more people prefer to use public

transportation

instead

of their own vehicles.

To conclude

, the main reasons are probably

due to

a limited

number

of vehicles and bad

management

.

Whereas

for the

solution

, it can eradicate by increasing the amount of public

transportation

and correcting the

management

itself.
