The population density of Bengaluru has grown by 47 per cent in the last decade. Technology workforce is growing at a pace similar to that of Silicon Valley and is expected to reach two million by 2020.

Along with the rapid growth in population, the city has also seen a sharp increase in the number of registered vehicles. Today, Bengaluru has about five million vehicles on its roads.

The sharp increase in vehicle population has accentuated the city’s pollution problem and added to the difficulty in commuting within the city. Increased use of public transport system is one of the solutions to alleviate this issue.

Wipro surveyed and recorded its employee addresses, their travel preferences and patterns. Employee home locations across Bengaluru were geocoded to determine the proximity of employees to existing BMTC routes and identify any gaps in BMTC services.

Keeping all these issues in mind, Wipro is requesting its employees to update the survey information on a real-time basis to create a sustainable feedback mechanism for BMTC to improve its transport networks.
