In Bengaluru, the average commute time for car users is typically observed to be a minimum of one hour when covering a standard travel distance of 10 kilometres while the car users spend about 1-1.5 hours in one direction as compared to 35-40 minutes by two-wheelers, according to a report which is part of the Personal2Public campaign launched by NGOs, including the Bangalore Political Action Committee (B.PAC) and WRI India, released on Monday.
The report also reveals that metro users typically spend less than 45 minutes on their primary mode of transport. However, when factoring in the first and last-mile connections, the average travel time extends to approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. In contrast, commuters using company-operated transportation tend to experience longer commutes.
The report was done mainly aiming to reduce the usage of personal vehicles and encouraging office-goers to switch to metro rail at least twice a week. The campaign was launched in the backdrop of metro lines reaching Whitefield and Electronics City, which is expected to be operational in December.
