By Sudhir Gota and Prashant Mutalik

Abstract:

"You're not stuck in a traffic jam, you are the jam."

The above statement best describes this paper. A city can never build its way out of the congestion without thinking of demotorisation to an extent.

An attempt has been made in the paper to access the congestion cost in Bangalore.
