Are you really very much fed up of traffic jams, and there is a good reason for it. Most of India's major cities now are home to more than a million vehicles, all of which contribute to traffic congestion, high road accidents and pollution. Meanwhile a growing urban population means rising incomes, which translates into a burgeoning number of vehicles on the road. However, the pace of road network expansion has been slow and the state of public transportation is poor, leading to a host of problems for the Indian cities and in 2012.
Delhi had the maximum number of cars in the country at 7.35 million, followed by Bangalore (4.1 million), Chennai (3.7 million), Hyderabad (3.3 million) and Pune (2.2 million). Surprisingly, Mumbai doesn't make the cut, coming in sixth with a little over 2 million cars. Shanghai tops the list with over 500 km of rail network, followed by Beijing and London.
Meanwhile in comparison, the Delhi
metro network spans just over 100 km and Kolkata has only 28 km of metro tracks.
As
per the report it was stated that the number of
Indian cities with a population of one million or more expected to cross 70 by
2031 and rising vehicle sales amid constraints on increasing road density.
