The city’s intelligent traffic management system (ITMS) plan got a major boost on Tuesday when the state cabinet approved a budget of Rs 891 crore. The system’s main focus is to ease the city’s traffic woes.

The city with an approximately 1 crore population, has about 34 lakh registered vehicles. For every 1,000 people, 261 own vehicles. A large number of vehicles ply within a land area of 438 square kilometres making traffic movement slower by the day.
