The traffic situation in many congested metros seems to be getting worse by the day. With many of our metro cities being very low on planning, there's very little room for road expansion on some of the busiest roads in India. As today's chart shows, the ultimate solution for our traffic woes may lie in the form of a 'congestion charge'. Quite like the one in Central London, where post the introduction of this charge, traffic snarls in the area reduced while at the same time public transport got a fillip. This is because the charge goes towards raising funds for investment in the public transport system, which is after all a mass and much more efficient means of commuting.
