Bengaluru City & Traffic

Bengaluru today is obviously one of the most sought after cities in the country what with the rapid growth in the IT

industry and the rise in the number of job opportunities in the city. With the rising population in the city there is also a

corresponding increase in the number of vehicles in the city and a huge increase in the demand on land.

What adds to the traffic pressure in Bengaluru in particular is that there is very little scope for expansion of roads and

the need to use existing roads for smooth movement of vehicles is even more pronounced. It thus becomes mandatory

for the administration to ensure better parking facilities. So far, the government and the BBMP have not taken this issue

seriously and now the situation is such that it needs to be addressed seriously and effectively.

Bengaluru city Traffic at a glance - Numbers speak!

Rapid population growth because of IT and other associated industries in Bengaluru led toan increase in the vehicular population to about 1.5 million, with an annual growth rate of 

7-10%.

With the increase in population and the expansion of the city, the problem of connectivity

of the populace has arisen. Quite obviously personalized modes of transport have grown

at a tremendous rate and two wheelers along with the cars almost comprise 90% of the

total registered vehicular population in the city.

Two wheelers constitute more than 70% of the total volume, while cars comprise 15%,

autos 4% and the remaining 8% includes other vehicles such as buses, vans and tempos.

Impact of growth on Traffic

• All or most of the roads are operating above their capacity and the volume: capacity ranges from 1:2, 1:3 and 1:5
