How much time do you waste in the traffic in your lifetime?
It's how saddening that an average person on this earth just lives for 79 years given the fact that the life expectancy has increased by ~1% over last couple of years. This is how much medical advancements have progressed with so much evolved medicine and technical capability in these years. And how about if we say that these advancements in life expectancy is actually negative in terms of when we consider the actual time we spend with family and friends compared to 50 years ago.
In this materialistic world, where everyone is running behind the money and time, people in their 30-50s have just lost the meaning of life. Everyone is competing in the rat race, going nowhere and losing their peace, mind and body. People are so busy in their daily routine that they need not know their neighbors, do not participate in the celebrations/occasions , and have lost the meaning of social life which has been squeezed into 4*4 square feet plastic walls.
When will you get time to spend your moments with your parents, spouse, kids and friends ???
With so much stress in life, we actually forget the time that we spend in everyday's commuting while travelling, be in auto, cars or public transport.
Did we even consider thinking about how much time do we spend daily in traffic ?? No!
Spending time in traffic has become part of our daily routine. With our so called sharpest mind which calculates the time needed to reach to office and vice-versa, takes this prolonged journey as part of life and did not consider the time and effort which we spend on the daily basis.
So how much time do we spend daily in traffic?
On an average, in the rush hours 9-11 in the morning and 5-7 in the evening, in all the metropolitan cities of India if you are travelling about 10-12 kms away from your office in these hours, you are actually wasting 2 hours daily making it around 500 hours in a year.
500 HOURS = ~ 20 days in a year
and if you are working for 30 years it would count as 600 days of your lifetime.
YOU ARE ACTUALLY WASTING 2 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE IN TRAFFIC.
which is actually less than the advancement in medical advancements happened over number of years. To increase these 2 years of life expectancy, researchers would be taking minimum of next 20 years to happen, with no amount of certainty in that.
WHY BE ON ROAD FOR SO LONG?
RIDE SHARING
With so many options available today with carpool, rider sharing and public transportation, it is evident that if we start using these options, there would be definitely less private transports leading to less traffic on the road.
STAYING NEARBY TO YOUR OFFICES
If you are staying in the rented apartment, it is wise to stay near to your office to avoid the traffic. It will just not save your time returning home but also will save you some money for your crunching time. And the most important thing is the peace of mind which you loses everyday in finding seats in buses/trains and listening to harsh sounds.It is also wise if you are even spending extra coins staying nearby to office rather than far away.
