Visakhapatnam: In the absence of adequate public transport, the people of Vizag are increasingly dependent on personal vehicles which have resulted in two-wheelers and four-wheelers choking the city.
The growing vehicular population in the city, since the past few years, is causing traffic congestion at various places. Officials of the Road Transport Authority and the city traffic police find that the congestion on city roads have grown threefold, in just two years, with increasing numbers of two and four-wheelers.
Admitting the increasing dependency on personal vehicles, the additional deputy transport commissioner, Vizag, M. Prabhuraj Kumar, said, that two-wheelers constituted the largest chunk of the vehicular traffic in the city, of around 5.8 lakh private vehicles.
He said that were around 4.2 lakh two-wheelers, and 80,000 cars. In other cities, people have been using public transportation like buses and metro or suburban trains.
Due to lack of adequate public transportation, the people here prefer to travel by their own transport, resulting in the city’s roads getting choked by private vehicles. The population of Vizag has crossed 20 lakh. However it has only around 600 buses plying in the city.
