"The most serious problem: Tampering; the biggest solution: Seriousness - Ahmad Al-Deeb
in Kuwait complain about traffic jams on streets, as a 15-minute ride may take 45 minutes to one hour, with boredom and frustration among the results of having congestion on the streets, along with patients arriving late to hospital to save their lives, being late for an important appointment, being late for work and other things.
If we look closely, we will find the matter is normal and expected, because the main means of transportation is vehicles in a small and crowded country, so it is highly expected to have these unwanted consequences. A negative situation is in distributing authorities at ministries and other authorities. Many have to go to the capital only to get a certain signature from a senior official who has many authorizations in his powers and relies on centralism to manage the entities under his jurisdiction, instead of granting senior officials in governorates some authorizations so a person will not be compelled to go to the capital for a signature. This person will be one of the reasons for causing a traffic jam.
There is no comfortable public transportation, with fast lanes in all directions (government facilities in the capital, universities, schools, markets). If they exist, they are not enough and not at a good level to convince an individual to leave their car and use public transportation.
There are no trains too. A small country the size of Kuwait suffers from severe traffic jams but there are no local trams or trains, despite their realistic cost. If the state wants it, the infrastructure for trains is difficult, but can be overcome. It is possible it will take one or two years to prepare the infrastructure and bring in the coaches - then everybody will be comfortable for many years. It is possible to charge minimal fees through subscriptions or other payment methods. It is also important for trains to be well-equipped, such as the availability of fast Wi-Fi Internet, comfortable seats, and drinks and snacks at reasonable prices, so that its use will be more than just a ride; rather it could be an entertaining journey.
In any country that aims for development, the first thought that comes is the level of transportation, sufficient roads and solutions for transportation through providing means that help the easy flow of traffic inside and outside the city. This allows for easy movement and quick arrivals for individuals, and this may be an important factor in providing a comfortable work environment for all and help in more production and achievements.
Kuwait does not lack money, trained individuals or an excellent infrastructure, but lacks the belief by decision makers that the problem exists, then the importance of a solution, followed by implementing the solutions with the best and most beneficial action.
