The document discusses different routes - a short route and a long route - from point A to point B. The short route normally takes 5 minutes while the long route takes 10 minutes. However, the short route is currently undergoing maintenance work which adds an average stop time of 20 minutes, making it slower than the long route. Therefore, while the short route is typically faster, the long route is currently more time efficient due to the maintenance work adding delays on the short route.
