Traffic Woes Deepen: Mumbaikars Face 29-Minute Delays for 10 km Trips!

Mumbaikars have to travel longer: 29 minutes to cover 10 km

In a shocking revelation from the TomTom Traffic Index 2024, Mumbaikars now take an average of 29 minutes and 26 seconds to travel just 10 kilometers during peak hours, a huge increase from last year's 21 minutes and 20 seconds. This increase in congestion has led to Mumbai's global ranking slipping to 39th, down from 52nd. Mumbai's traffic condition is deteriorating, yet it remains the sixth most congested city in India, ranking next to cities like Kolkata and Bengaluru. According to experts, there's an immediate need for urban planning reforms to combat the emerging trend.
