    Chennai scored 40 and bangalore 45. Then how chennai is not the worst. :S. I have lived in both the cities for 2 years each and trust chennai is much more worse. There are no footpaths also in chennai to walk on in many places. And due to so much garbage, heat and humidity everywhere, one doesnt even feel like walking/strolling.
    No idea about scores, but Chennai is better IMO. But, we're all to blame. All of us must work towards making it right. :-D

      Some Motorist Think " They had paid tax road is their property"

      Some pedestrians Think " They had voted and payed Govt. taxes so its their Property"


      There should be a balance between motorist and pedestrians. Otherwise this will happen.

      One reason I'm driving cycle to work every day.

      Yesterday had a hard time driving to IPL Match Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.Traffic was so dense as 6PM as usual.

      It was raining and some motorists was off-roading on footpath using bikes and scooters.

      Where will the pedestrians walk if there are vehicles on footpath??


      I really wished my ZMA had a crash guard on that dense traffic

        I was born and raised here and i have heard people blame the outsiders. Thats completely wrong.

        Its easy to blame others and takes courage to own up mistakes I've seen people fight and argue on the roads inspite of they being the wrong doers. They argue to either conceal their embarrassment on the mistake they did or to convince themselves real hard that the mistake was not theirs.

          Bangalore is the name of the city that came up that's all; there're similar or worse things happening in other part of this country.

          Corruption breeding to lack of Law Enforcement yielding to poor drivers is all the root cause of these issues. Unless this situation changes...the worst is yet to come

              No surprise at all to me!! many a times, i've seen bikers taking to foot path to beat traffic jam near Kundanahalli signal That said, I'm sure there are other worst cities. I would be shocked if Hyderabad is not No.2

                Coplay, sorry to know about ur accident. Wish you a quick recovery...

                I was in Bangalore's Army school (near utility/ unity building and symphony theatre within it) and avs education society, when I was a kid, from 2-4 standard...
                I remember no foopaths on most streets, and most bus drivers driving and steering hard, as if they're in GTA vice city or San Andreas!!
                Saw a moped rider crushed head, caused by a sand filled truck, in Ilyas Nagar... Heck, there was blood everywhere... Couldn't eat properly for days after it.

                Bangalore was pedestrain's hell even back then, in the 90's...
