Number of vehicles doubles in erstwhile Karimnagar
Over the past nine years, the number of automobiles in the formerly karimnagar district has quadrupled, rising from roughly 5.61 lakh to over 10.3 lakhs. Officials claim that since the creation of the independent State, the procurement of personal vehicles, such as motorbikes and cars, has surged. Along with an increase in money, the Covid epidemic is another factor in the rise in personal automobiles. During the epidemic, many were afraid to use the public transit system, therefore many of them bought their own vehicles, particularly automobiles, to go about.
If examined vehicle-wise, the number of bikes has increased to 7,16,914 from 3,94,987 in 2014 followed by cars 75,901 (37,586 in 2014), tractors and commercial vehicles 83,310 (43,957), mopeds 39,175 (29,803), goods carriage vehicles 31,347 (16,267), motor cabs 9,334 (4,561), autorickshaws 33,643 (19,548), school buses 2,396 (1,681) and other vehicles 32,649 from 11,236 in the year 2014.
