Band-aid for traffic mess

Karnataka government seems to have finally woken up to the traffic woes of commuters in Bengaluru

The Karnataka government seems to have finally woken up to the traffic woes of commuters in Bengaluru. The city has 67 lakh vehicles for a population of 1.2 crore, which means it has the highest vehicle density in the country. To avoid a situation like Delhi where heavy pollution is giving government officials sleepless nights, the Karnataka government has mooted a plan to experiment with no private vehicles one day a month starting February 2018. But as some citizens have pointed out on social media, it is, at best, a “band-aid solution”.
