Cops urge techies to use public transport at least once a week

The main aim is to reduce traffic congestion and emissions, and create a greener city for future generations.

Apart from this, the IT employees have been requested to use public transport at least once a week. If 50% of IT employees use public transport, as per an estimate, traffic congestion could be reduced by around 20%, as many of them rely on cars and two-wheelers. Police and senior officers have also been asked to set an example.
