Traffic Challenges in Bangalore
Bangalore faces significant traffic issues primarily due to its rapid population growth and vehicle increase, which outpaces infrastructure development. With approximately 1.5 crore residents and more cars than people, the traffic congestion is prevalent and increasingly problematic.
