Kolkata Vehicle Registrations Surge, Raising Concerns on Congestion

Kolkata Vehicle Registrations Surge, Raising Concerns on Congestion

Imagine everyone in Kolkata suddenly decided to buy more cars!

In April 2025, a lot more people got new vehicles, and the roads got crowded.

This is because not many use buses.

This causes traffic jams, which pollute the air because cars are stuck for longer.

Bus drivers now can't make as many trips as they used to.

To fix this, the city needs better public transport, maybe with expensive parking, to encourage using public transport.

It's a challenge to keep the city moving smoothly, but everyone agrees there needs to be some solution.
