It’s important to point out that nearly 50% of households have a salary of approximately $123.6 per month. The percentage of expenses on transportation is around 24% of household income. If an individual like Krishnappa, due to lack of adequate facilities such as footpaths, cycle tracks and buses, unwillingly drives to work, then he would spend nearly $22.25 per month for his transportation alone.

Sudhir Gota, an engineer living in Bangalore comments on the state of a new kind of resident who is transport-challenged in the rapidly growing city of Bangalore. Being an urban planner, I’m only too aware of this problem in changing Indian cities and hope we address them before it is too late.
