1) The table highlights how many hours of delay people living in cities of various sizes experienced yearly from 1985 to 2015. Also, there is a projection for 2025.
To begin, in small and medium cities, where population does not outpace 1000000 citizens, people generally experienced 7 and 9 hours respectively. In the year 1995 both figures increased dramatically and by 2005 had peaked, with small cities comprising 27 and medium one constituting 31hours . However, in 2015 these numbers dropped to 15 hours each, and by 2025 it is expected that they will have decreased to 20(small cities) and 15 hours (medium cities).
As for the remaining cities, there were large ones with population ranged from 1-3 million and megacities where more than 3 million lived. Starting at 11 houres in 1985, people in large cities experienced an increase in houres and in 2005 this figure reached a peak of 42 houres.
Nevertheless, in 2025 it is supposed to decrease to 30 houres. Beginning at 19 houres, people living in metropolis witnessed the same number of houres in the years 1995 and 2015 – 50 houres each, while in 2005 the figure also picked at 60 houres. In 2025 megapolis is expected to witness the highest amount of time, 40 houres.
Overall, it is visible that the bigger city was, the more hours of delay its citizens were supposed to experience. Also, all cities, regardless of their size, reached a peak of hours of delay in 2005.
