Bengaluru: Nowadays, Traffic jams in Bangalore have become very common, but there are many reasons for traffic jams in Bangalore. In our analysis, it has been found that traveling single in a car is causing traffic congestion in Bangalore city; most of the cars are private and are being used unnecessarily, which cause traffic jam, and many car users prefer using their own vehicles rather than public transportation, even for short distances.
Save Green NGO, which is working for the environment, says that it is not hidden from anyone that private car users are contributing more to traffic congestion, and this is increasing daily in Bangalore city. Parking space is already unavailable, and people are buying cars without arranging parking space.
We have almost lost the environment of our Bengaluru city, and the government has cut down many trees to develop flyovers and road widening to solve the traffic issues in Bengaluru. Everyone ignores the environmental and traffic issues, and our generations will suffer the consequences. There are many NGOs doing awareness, but practically no results.

People park their cars on the sides of the roads, slowing down traffic and making things hard for others. A car takes up five times more parking space than a two-wheeler, so we encourage people to use two-wheelers because they don’t take up as much space on the road or in the parking lot.
Approximately 5-6 two-wheelers can park in the space that ONE car occupies in a parking area.
Two-wheeler users say that car users occupy all the available space on the road, including the Left side. They also say that car drivers who change lanes quickly pose a nuisance to other drivers, especially those on two-wheelers.
It would be safer for two-wheelers if the government implemented left-side lanes, OR It would be appreciated if drivers shared the left side of the road. This will avoid driving a two-wheeler on the footpath.
The solution is in your hands to solve traffic congestion: use a car whenever you go with more than two people. If we consider carpooling, it has not been widely successful due to various reasons.
Some people say that cars are safe, but it depends on the driver who drives the car. There is no guarantee that the car is very safe, as we have seen many accidents in which all the occupants of the car either died or got seriously injured.
Even I have stopped using a car long back and use a two-wheeler whenever we are one or two people. “Said Monish.”
| Benefits of Owning a Two-Wheeler |
There are numerous benefits to having a two-wheeler. |
Most people dislike public transport because buses are usually overcrowded and do not take us to our desired location. Meanwhile, auto-rickshaws and cabs are often unavailable or refuse to go, which is why people prefer to own personal vehicles.
This has effects on our economy such as traffic congestion, delay in reaching the destination and additional fuel consumption.
No one is against #Cars, but everyone must consider how & when to use the car.
