It is a known fact that India's one of the leading metropolitan cities Bangalore/Bengaluru is known for its heavy traffic. I would just like to add some more frustration I have been facing and seeing others face in the recent while in this blog.
I have been living in the city for close to 7 years now and when I entered first time, I was mesmerized by the chill weather and ever drizzling sky. It feels so cold while going by a bike and you need a jacket so you will always enjoy the ride and don't need an Air Conditioner in car or house. That is the best part of staying in Bangalore. But the cons of staying here is the heavy frustrating traffic in any part of the city with some bottlenecks in every zone.
For e.g. for those who are commuting in the Silk Board, BTM to Electronic City area, Silk board is a nightmare in the peak hours. It gets so jammed and extremely congested for the vehicles and pedestrians to walk over. And for those using the Outer ring road which is a signal free corridor, there are several bottle necks like K.R. Puram junction, Tin factory, Mahadevpura, Marathahalli which are always jam packed and people struggle like anything that too in the recent days scorching heat in the mornings and most of the times tend to miss the office calls and meetings as they will be stuck in the roads.
And for people who travel around Indra Nagar, Koramangla, M.G. road mostly have fast moving traffic, but at times due to shopping complexes and foot paths the actual roads have become very congested and very uncomfortable for everyone.
And the most important factor for this heavy traffic is the heavy increase in the number of private cabs like OLA,Uber, Meru which were once of great help but now its a pain in the head.
In every nook and corner there are lots of cabs which are violating the traffic rules , signals and causing headache to everyone.
And mornings 9am to 12 noon its horrible and same in the evening from 6-9pm which is a nightmare for every rider to reach safe without hurting anyone in vehicles.
And due to frequent rains, lots of roads are heavily damaged resulting to lots of potholes and heard the commisioner is taking care of fixing them while additional of 200+ villages to the boundary of Bengaluru has made them highly occupied it seems.
And the city is not properly planned to accomodate this much heavy millions of crowd and due to the IT job opportunities, people are flooding to the city from every part of India from North to South and East to West.
The common man's request is simple- the government has to fasten up the Metro implementations or flyover implementations in this existing traffic and also develop the outskirts with companies and job opportunities so that people can move to other less populated areas as well.
Thanks for reading my article.
Have a great day!
