Journal Title: Indian Journal of Law and Human Behavior - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Cities in India have witnessed a phenomenal growth in the last 2 decades both in population and number of vehicles. Population growth in cities is mainly attributed to migration of people in search of better employment, opportunities, whereas the increase in vehicular population is attributed to absence of efficient, comfortable and reliable public transport system. Bangalore is no exception to such phenomena. “The level of urbanization in Karnataka as per the census has growth coupled with increase in household income and increase in commercial and industrial activities has placed heavy demands on urban transport system of the State, a demand that many cities have not been able to meet. As per Wikipedia, in 2011-12 Karnataka had 182 registered motor vehicles per 1000 population which is about 1 per 5 persons. Such huge number of vehicles in the cities cause increased traffic jams, congestions and air pollution. The average speed of the vehicles in Bengaluru city is less than 10 KMs per hour. As on 2016, the vehicle number has increased to 67 lakhs “
