Changes to transport routes and subsequent disruptions will always be there. Some of these changes are unavoidable while others are a result of poor planning and poor monitoring systems. Geohazards blocking roads and forcing changes to the routes are unavoidable but engineering failures of the transport infrastructure, if not a result of geohazards, are a result of poor maintenance and monitoring. To minimise conflicts, only communication channels between all stakeholders needs to be effective and smart, timely and accurate. Transport managers, operators, local communities and businesses and other concerned parties need to help out - with a certain level of understanding and flexibility.

Effective engagement with residents and businesses will help alleviate tensions arising from changes to transportation routes. Stakeholders need information about the changes and an opportunity to provide meaningful feedback. It is highly desirable to engage stakeholders before crucial decisions have been made, so their needs and wishes can be considered at the planning and design stage. In some instances, it may be possible to implement the changes on a low-cost, temporary basis first. This can be an excellent and nimble way to deliver changes, whilst simultaneously gathering feedback and measuring public opinion on new initiatives before they are implemented on a permanent basis.
