Time and again, Punekars have been highlighting various issues leading to traffic congestion in the city. According to the TomTom Traffic Index, which monitors travel time in over 387 cities around the world, Pune ranks seventh globally and second in India with an average travel time of 27 minutes and 50 seconds to cover a distance of 10 km. Activists and residents point to increasing vehicular numbers, rampant encroachment and poor infrastructure as key contributors to the ongoing traffic nightmare.
Meanwhile, recent data from the Regional Transport Office (RTO) reveals that 9,45,765 new vehicles have been registered in Pune over the past four years. This includes 1,68,215 vehicles in 2020, 2,54,623 in 2021, 2,93,138 in 2023 and 2,29,789 by mid-October 2024. In total, Pune has witnessed the registration of 39,29,580 vehicles by October 2024. However, officials estimate that around 72 lakh vehicles ply on the Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad roads, nearly matching the city's population.
