A Mysurean visiting Bengaluru experiences a shock seeing the tsunami of vehicular traffic on the roads. According to the official website of Bengaluru City Police, the vehicular population as on 31.3.2016 was 56 lakh motor vehicles. Of these, 70% constituted two-wheelers, 15% four-wheelers and the balance being autorickshaws, buses and others. The numbers are growing at the rate of 10% annually. The average speed of vehicle movement is less than 10 km per hour and continues to slow down with each passing year.
