You Won’t Believe the Cause of Traffic Problems in India
So you think we have bad traffic jams in America huh? Well, just like everything else, it depends on the basis of your comparison. Traffic in India can be some of the worst in the world, but there are different causes depending on whether you are in city or rural traffic.
In the city: Probably the biggest factor leading to the awful traffic jams is the sheer number of vehicles on the road. There are over 8 million vehicles per day on the roads in the greater Delhi area. Many commuters take metro, ride share in a tuck tuck, or ride a bicycle, but the roads aren’t designed to handle the volume. Many Indian workers commute over 2 hours each way without air conditioning and arrive to work already dirty and sweaty.
