"3 hours to cover 6 kms" | Bengaluru roads choke | Massive traffic jam on Outer Ring Road

bengaluru traffic | Traffic | ORR traffic | Outer Ring Road traffic | Bengaluru bandh | Bengaluru traffic congestion | Trevor Noah show Bangalore
Traffic ground to a halt in many parts of Bengaluru on Wednesday, with the Outer Ring Road being the worst affected. The return of office-goers after Tuesday's bandh and the upcoming long weekend likely contributed to the unusual traffic flow, police say.

@@pramodkn15 More likely, it would result in a deserted town with high crime rates and financial ruin for everyone. With the "outsiders" gone, millions of people originally from the nearby districts in Karnataka would face a lack of opportunity in the local and business, infrastructure and service industries and that would cause both a massive reverse migration and a rise in crime levels. House prices would fall causing major real-estate related investment and pension funds to fail. Tax revenues would fall casing a large deficit for Karnataka causing it to become one of the poorest states from the current position of economic prosperity. Every coin has two sides and they cannot be separated: by wishing for one, you are going to get the other too.

You are able to walk 3 KM in bangalore. Thats an achievement.. Walking is the most toughest option in Bangalore withou injuring yourself.

[@hellotrading3245]

@@hardtrailrider I agree. I came to Bangalore for 3 day visit. And I found it is not at all planned for pedestrians. Footpath is not accessible with any planning and people with disability or even without cannot use it. I felt like I am on pahadi yatra while walking all over no planned footpath. When it was available people with bikes misused them to run their bikes. Without any consideration that this is for walking and not biking. I also realised in these 3 days how much good life we have in Punjab with dense trees parks all over our planned colonies for kids to play and elderly to walk. And with remote work allowed in IT there is no need for companies to make employees slog in cities like Bengaluru. It's a waste of human productivity. I used my time listening to podcasts while walking. We need to think seriously what is the worth of these concrete jungles if we are not able to live with ease ? I felt extremely bad for kids stuck in school buses late at night whereas they should be hitting the grounds or dirt in playgrounds at this age. I wonder if there is any sustainable living concept in cities like these where people take pride in showing off expensive cars all over. There must be places that are planned and sustainable but I am sure they must be out of pockets for the average earner like me.

FACT: Siddaramaiah has been 13 times as financial minister since 1994 till 2018. 5 times as CM. Out of 28+ years for peripheral ring road, he has presented 12 budget, but didn't release budget to PRR. He presented so many budget didn't release budget to NEW BANGALORE CITY. He didn't release good package for Bengaluru development as well even being In 5years of CM. Why Tunnel Roads to make is flooding of water 💧 inside Tunnels 🤔.

Didn't work any kind of Reforms of Educational Boards or Educational System 2. Didn't do any kind of Reforms in Educational Institutions like IISC, ISRO, etc. 3. Didn't do any kind of Reforms in Educational CURRICULUM and Supporting other educational Institutions. Why, Mr. Singh does not gives any IMPORTANCE to EDUCATION, When he himself gives importance to money-making , financial dealings and financial fraud businesses etc. 1. Mr. Singh never increased budget of Defense and Border security forces as much as needed. 2. PVN Rao and Mr. Singh never did more investment on ISRO as much as needed. We people knows it very well. Even Nambi Narayanan told this . The PVN RAO did worked against Nambi Narayanan and forced to fraud court cases illegal businesses. 2. Even Abdul Kalam told us, we Indians need to enhance knowledge and need to do Reforms in educational systems n educational curriculum. Most of time Kalam was focused on education n knowledge whereas Mr. Singh neverever focused as Kalam does. But Singh didn't respect the most renowned n most loved President Dr. APJ ABDUL KALAM. Being the most Educated, Mr. Singh was not interested on any kind of Reforms. Reforms are more important than money minded monsters businesses, which most genuinely educated people do. Questions to Mr. SINGH is: Was he genuinely educated person who gives IMPORTANCE to educational values or money minded business. Example is Mr. Singh and his bosses like Sonia and Rajiv Gandhi and USA n UK bosses and other nationals bosses. Questions raised: HOW MANY MORE HIDDEN MASTERMIND CONSPIRACIES EXECUTED by Dr. Singh

Bike service drivers who are a life line for working ppl are harassed & threatened by Auto drivers so this service has almost stopped.

IT companies play a significant role in the ongoing situation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, IT leaders strongly advocated for remote work as the "New Normal." However, they have since shifted their stance and introduced the concept of returning to the traditional office environment, which they now call "Back-to-Normal," compelling all employees to work on-site. It's noteworthy that many IT leaders tend to be overly enthusiastic and lack practical insights, often concealing their evolving ideologies. While adopting a hybrid work model is a positive step, they should also consider decentralizing their office spaces, establishing hubs in various parts of the city to alleviate traffic congestion. Unfortunately, many IT executives with business backgrounds are preoccupied with organizational politics and lack a clear vision.

IT Corporate firms especially TCS should understand the pain suffered by employees, children, and the public. WFH and hybrid plans b/w corporates based on areas should be implemented. If this is the way of life then we do no need a home or family. Provide a living facility within the office itself.

[@vivekaaraga]

Delivery boys and many two wheelers blatantly use footpaths to ride on leaving no room for pedestrians to walk. So even walkers are stuck in traffic!! Bangalore infra is really poor with major roads suddenly converging into narrow streets and lack of sufficient avenues linking major hubs of the city is the reason why we are struggling. There’s huge chunks of defence land in the middle of the city because of which we have one or two roads connecting two points like whitefield to city centre is only through Old Airport road or Old Madras road. Adding to these woes are the road discipline issues and number of vehicles on the road thanks to lack of public transport services. A vicious circle indeed.

This is why I take BMTC. It's pretty well connected. Time difference to reach any place by car vs City bus is usually 10-15 min. That's good for me. Also we should introduce some toll charge for cars with single occupant. This is what causes the heavy traffic. If people just use public transport, office cabs, 2-wheeler the problem can reduce easily. But I notice too many driving the car to office alone. These are one big factor for traffic.

[@PramodSubramanyam10]

The moment it is realized that traffic can go worse (during day) authorities need to send guidelines to corporates/companies asking their employees to work from home (for the mid and night shift) this can lessen the vehicle load and can lessen the stress and worries of general public.

[@devdasshetty9650]

Worst traffic jam ever seen, it is nothing to do with more vehicles but due to poor traffic management - struck in same place for 3 hours. Traffic police unnecessarily diverted to service road - there were only 3 or 4 police in the stretch from Sarjapur cross to Kalamandir- roads as such are not been touched in this entire year! Very unpleasant to live in BLR now

Companies should give 100% wfh or can let employees ask to a week continuously which can fullfill their work from office requirements, so people can go back to their native and work from their and employees will be happy to work from home in 10% less salary because this save their around 40% of salary which usually go in paying rent, electricity, grocery and water bills

People tweeting about the traffic and sitting alone in a big SUV please try to pool in with other employees or friends on the same route. I have been car pooling since 2018 and it helps a lot in decreasing congestions. Yest I travelled in ORR and 80% of the cars had only one person driving. If we pool it would be much better. Yes we need Govt to act on it and solve too but let's do our part. Uber and Ola pools are also out of their apps not sure why. It used to be a good option to Uber Pool but these commuting apps have to step up too.
