Camryn Stevenson · Answer 1

decreased traffic jams, air pollution, and lost personal time

Explanation:

The Congress undertook a project in 2009 for a high speed rail in the State. As a result more people took the speed rail for communication as they are faster mode of transportation than any other means. Also speed rails provide comparatively cheaper fare for transportation.

These lead to decrease in traffic jams as people did not use their personal vehicle for travelling and also it reduced the air pollution by reduction in the number of vehicle used.

It also saves time as people need less time now to travel from one place to another using high-speed rail.

Thus the answer is decreased traffic jams, air pollution, and lost personal time
