The acute lack of parking space, and enormous traffic on the roads have taken their toll on a number of Indian cities for quite some time now. In the present day - with increasing urban incomes, convenient access to finance, and the advent of affordable cars - an overwhelming majority of middle-class families in the country own a car. The more affluent class of society actually tends to own 2 or more cars, which results in an exponential increase in the number of vehicles. This critical shortage of parking spaces when clubbed with the Indian practice of parking right on the roads leads to narrower lanes - hindering the flow of traffic and making it onerous for public transportation to navigate through Indian roads.
