According to the most recent study by experts in geolocation technology, TomTom, Bengaluru’s city centre was the second slowest to drive through in the world in 2022, requiring roughly 30 minutes of driving time to cover 10 km, and Pune was placed sixth globally. It provided information on traffic patterns in 389 cities across 56 nations.
With an average journey time of 36 minutes and 20 seconds for 6.2 miles, London comes in #1. (10 km). According to the survey, Milan in Italy, Sapporo in Japan, and Dublin, the capital of Ireland, are ranked third, fourth, and fifth, respectively.
Mumbai was ranked 47 with a journey time of more over 21 minutes, whereas Delhi was ranked 34th. Bangalore is ranked fourth among cities in the research for wasted time caused by traffic, according to the findings. In the list of “Cities with the highest CO2 emissions per driven miles during rush hour,” the city came in fifth.Mobility experts in Bengaluru concur that the city is among the most congested in the world as a result of a number of factors, including the city’s narrow roads, poor road conditions, poorly placed infrastructure planning, vehicles parked on the road, the city’s pitiful bus system, lack of cycling lanes, and a recently constructed metro system.Due to all of this, the majority of people are compelled to drive their own cars, which clogs the roadways. In that regard, a mix of multi-modal transportation, including the underground, suburban rail, buses, rivers, cabs, and more than 20% of road surfaces devoted to bicycle tracks, benefits London.
