IT hubs see 82% commute by personal vehicles, just 2% use public transport

HYDERABAD As Cyberabad grapples with growing traffic congestion, an overwhelming 82% of commuter movement across its key IT hubs is accounted for by personal vehicles, while public transport contributes just around 2%, highlighting the region’s dependence on private modes of transport. According to data presented by Cyberabad Police and the Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC), traffic across 15 key IT-sector locations exceeds 2.5 million vehicles and people every day.

The figures underline the scale of the mobility challenge in one of Hyderabad’s fastest-growing employment hubs, which has a resident population of around 3.5 million spread across approximately 637 sq. km, apart from a substantial daily commuter population travelling from other parts of the city.

With around six lakh IT and IT-enabled services (ITeS) employees represented by the corporates participating in a stakeholder interaction on Tuesday, Cyberabad Police are looking to bring companies on board to encourage a shift towards shared and sustainable commuting practices.
