According to the latest report by Greenpeace India, the average commute time for car users in Bengaluru is typically observed to be a minimum of one hour when covering a standard travel distance of 10 kilometers. Meanwhile, another report has revealed that Bengaluru suffered a loss of ? 19,725 crore per year due to its traffic delays, congestion, stoppage of signals, time loss, fuel loss, and related factors.
Last month, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said a 190-km tunnel has been proposed to ease traffic congestion in the city, and 8 companies qualified for it. These companies will study and report on how the tunnel road should be, whether it should be four or six lanes, from where it should begin and end, and a decision also needs to be taken on whether it should be expanded across the city, he said.
