I would like to propose a change that I suggested when the transports were just being finalized last year, instead of just adding speed to the transports, I would suggest that higher level transports embark and disembark faster. This change would make me consider researching transports even with the time and other requirements for researching it unchanged.
Basically it would be to have the level 1 stay as they are. Level 2 speed is the same as the L1 but instead embarking and disembarking times reduced by 10%, like using a L1 Naval Base. Level 3 speed would be as the Level 2 speed is. Finally Level 4 the speed would be the same as L3 but once again reduced embarkation and disembarkation time by 30%, like at a L2 Naval Base.
My proposal
L1 speed 23 normal load/unload
L2 speed 23 10% reduction to load/unload times (roughly 4 hours to disembark in unfriendly provinces)
L3 speed 30 with either normal load/unload times or reduced by 10% (determined by playtesting)
L4 speed 30 30% reduction to load/unload times (roughly 3 hours 10 min to disembark in unfriendly provinces)
