A journey that once took most of a day can now be completed in a few hours, while some routes that involved long detours have been cut down to minutes. Across India, new bridges, tunnels, expressways and faster trains are changing the way people travel between cities and remote regions.
As per a TOI report, the change is particularly visible on routes where rivers, mountains, congested roads or older railway infrastructure once added significantly to travel time. Government data highlights several projects that have helped reduce both travel distances and journey times.
