How can we save public transport in every state of India?
Planning ahead and purchasing tickets in advance can help reduce costs. While public transport can involve waiting times due to potential delays, it can be faster during peak times as trains and buses often bypass traffic congestion.

How can we solve public transportation problems?
Increasing the frequency of transit services during peak hours can be an effective solution to reduce overcrowding. By running more buses or trains during these times, passengers will have more room inside a vehicle, preventing congestion and ensuring a safer, more comfortable commute.

What was the greatest improvement to transportation?
But while river transportation had improved greatly, it still could not compete with the expanse and speed of the railroad system. Though not depicted in Storm King, the railroad and steam-powered locomotive had arguably had the greatest impact on both transportation and western expansion.
