What is a "traffic jam"?

A traffic jam is a situation where vehicles are unable to move freely because there are too many cars on the road. This often happens during busy times, such as rush hours, or when there is an accident, construction, or a blockage. In a traffic jam, cars move very slowly or come to a complete stop, causing delays for drivers and passengers. Traffic jams can be frustrating and time-consuming, and they often happen in cities or on highways with heavy traffic.

What is a "hold-up"?

A hold-up is a delay or interruption that stops something from continuing or progressing as planned.

Connections are planned to ensure smooth travel, often with waiting times kept short so passengers can move easily between services. They are common in areas with large public transportation networks, helping people travel across different parts of a city or region without needing a private vehicle.

What is a "stopping train"?

A stopping train is a type of train that makes regular stops at every station along its route. Unlike express trains, which may skip some stations, a stopping train is scheduled to halt at all the stations it passes, allowing passengers to get on and off at any of the stops. These trains are typically slower because they stop more often, making them ideal for shorter trips or travel within a specific area. Stopping trains are commonly used in urban or suburban areas where people need frequent access to various stations.

Express services are often used for longer trips or busy commuter routes, offering a more direct and efficient option for passengers looking to avoid delays.
