Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Road is an important road in South Kolkata that runs in a north-west to south-east direction. It connects the localities of Tollygunge in the north-west and Rajpur Sonarpur in the south through Garia.
The road is narrow, but given its significance it carries a considerable amount of traffic throughout the day.
The various modes of transportation available along this road are private buses (80A, 205, 205A, 228, SD5, S6A, S7, S55, AC6, C49 etc.) and also mini buses (Naktala-Howrah, Harinavi-Howrah). Another major mode of transportation popular in this area are three-wheelers better known as auto-rickshaws. Cycle-rickshaws are abundant in this area as well, apart from the multitude of taxis and private vehicles traveling in the area.
Due to this multitude of traffic, traffic jams are part of a daily routine, especially in places like the Rajpur Bazar, Kamalgazi Crossing, Garia crossing, Usha Gate crossing, Bansdroni and the other popular crossings like Netaji Nagar, Ranikuthi and Malancha-More Road crossing.
