Efforts like expanding the metro rail, which has reduced congestion by about 10-30% in some areas, have shown promise but are hampered by delays and space constraints. The city is exploring underground roads and tunnels to optimize limited land resources, but significant change requires long-term, integrated planning. Emerging AI surveillance systems, such as over 300 cameras, aim to improve traffic management in real time. Nonetheless, urban planners emphasize the need to create infrastructure that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists to truly transform Bengaluru’s transportation landscape.
