Key Factors Contributing to Inefficiency
Many urban centers struggle with overcrowded buses, unreliable schedules, and inadequate coverage. These issues not only frustrate commuters but also contribute to increased private vehicle usage.
Outdated infrastructure, insufficient funding, and poor route planning are among the main factors exacerbating traffic and pollution problems in cities.
Proposed Solutions
Implementing smart technology, prioritizing sustainable funding models, redesigning transit networks, promoting transit-oriented development, and electrifying public transit fleets are key solutions for creating efficient and sustainable urban transportation systems.
