urban mobility

Bengaluru’s population has grown by over 40% since 2011 and is expected to reach 20 million by 2031. With more than 80 lakh registered vehicles – nearly 50 lakh of them two-wheelers – the city’s roads are among the most congested in the country, and accidents involving two-wheelers remain the highest. Every day, over a thousand new vehicles join this already saturated network.

Despite a fleet of more than 6,500 public buses, ridership continues to fall, held back by high fares, limited last-mile options, and the convenience of private transport. Metro and suburban rail systems are expanding, yet congestion persists.

We invite you to engage with the concerns around mobility as the city expands. Our focus is to bring together voices from policy, planning, and everyday life to ask how the city can move differently, toward systems that are safer, more efficient, and inclusive for all.
