Bengaluru and Pune cities having the world’s slowest traffic

These two busy cities, Bengaluru and Pune, have successfully positioned themselves at the top of a pretty terrible global ranking for the slowest traffic lanes that weave through the fabric of contemporary life. You guessed correctly, yes! These cities have permanently inscribed their names in the annals of annoyance, not only for their shining IT hubs but also for the agonizingly slow pace of motor mobility.

Do you care to consider the figures that will try your patience? Dear reader, brace yourselves for Bengaluru, a city where time seems to crawl rather than fly, requires an alarmingly long 29 minutes and 10 seconds of your life to travel just 10 kilometers! Pune, which is used to the slow-moving traffic, provides a little quicker time of 27 minutes and 20 seconds for the same distance.

Let’s now take a transatlantic detour and look at the magnificent city of London, a metropolis where modernity and tradition continue to tango incessantly. Remind yourself to brace yourself since it will take a difficult 36 minutes and 20 seconds of your complete attention to go just 10 kilometers in this extraordinary capital, a distance that hardly qualifies as an appetizer on its expansive culinary table.

And there, my friends, we see the height of traffic-related annoyance, where Bengaluru, with its almost famous traffic laziness, comes in a respectable second to London in the kingdom of travel tedium. Dublin, Sapporo, Milan, and our own Pune complete this global gathering of crawl, creating an intercontinental symphony of immobility.

Bengaluru and Pune invite you to experience the perplexing paradox of progress and gridlock in a tapestry woven with sentences that are both sprawling and succinct, just like the vehicular rhythms that grace their streets, in their peculiar blend of Silicon Valley dreams and automotive stagnation.
