In a bold initiative to combat rising traffic congestion, city authorities had urged residents to refrain from using their cars, particularly on Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) corridor, this Sunday. The appeal resonated with the public, leading to a 30 per cent drop in the number of cars compared to previous Sunday, a press release issued by IMC said.
Officials monitored vehicle counts across several key squares, especially on the BRTS corridor, using traffic cameras and the results were encouraging. Data showed a reduction in traffic ranging from 25 per cent to 60 per cent at different junctions, with an average reduction of 30 per cent between 7 am and 5 pm.
