India loses $22bn yearly during peak traffic in 4 cities: Uber
The cost of traffic congestion in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Bengaluru is estimated to be $22 billion per year, according to a study commissioned by Uber. On average, commuters in these cities take 1.5 times longer to travel a given distance, the study revealed. The congestion level is partly attributed to India's high population density and under-developed public transportation network.
