We all know how are traffic problems in several cities of India. As the days are passing traffic situation is getting worse. Everyone hates to sit and wait in the car. But, everyone wants to travel in a car. This is making traffic situation worse than before. Bengaluru is the one.
Now, it’s official, India’s Bengaluru has the worst traffic not in the country but in the world as well. If you have been to Bengaluru or not doesn’t matter what’s matters is everyone knows the traffic situation in the city. It is so bad that #BengaluruTraffic even trended on Twitter.
“Bengaluru takes the top spot this year with drivers in the southern Indian city expecting to spend an average of 71% extra travel time stuck in traffic.”
TomTom, a leading in-vehicle navigation company has released its annual Traffic Index, covering 416 cities across 57 countries on 6 continents. As per their report, India is the worst-hit country by traffic congestion with 4 cities in the top 10 including Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune.
Bengaluru is the IT hub of India and has the worst traffic in the world, with traffic congestion as high as 71%. TomTom Traffic Index also revealed that 20th August 2019 (Tuesday) was the worst day with 103% congestion, with 6th April 2019 (Saturday), was the best day with 30% congestion.
Manila, Philippines grabs the second spot with congestion similar to Bengaluru at 71%. India’s Mumbai and Pune takes 4th and 5th spot. Bogota, Colombia is the 3rd worst city for travelers in terms of traffic.
#BengaluruTraffic one more feather in the cap of our beloved Namma Bengaluru. Most traffic congested city in the world! Hope the city administrators wake up to the ignominious crown.
