WORK FROM HOME. Only solution. It solves everything. Being a localite it pains me to see the current state of this beautiful city built by our ancestors and Kings. When I see Bengaluru in the 60s, 70s 80s 90s movies, it looks like it was breathing, now it looks its on ventilation.

And traffic is not happening because someone is "stepping out" . Traffic is happening because EVERYONE is stepping out at the same damn time.

Post-liberalisation, Bengaluru suburbs expanded in a very unplanned way, especially the areas in East and South East. One can hardly find a 80ft wide main road. There seems to be no vision regarding the development of towns around them and the roads and transportation around Bengaluru. Just take Google maps and see the road in areas outside the Outer Ring Road.

On Bangalore roads, every junction, service lane merging, joints, etc are designed and constructed to give you an off-roading experience on the city road. Bus stops right before junctions expanding lanes from 3 to 5 and squeezing back to 2 lanes in span of 50 mts is high intellectual thinking. Parking is well planned and managed across the city. Building entries and foot path height is precisely engineered. U-Turns and lane mergings are a bless to Bangalorians. With all such innovations and extreme engineering, Govt still cannot understand why traffic blocks happen in Bangalore. For example, Electronic City Nice Road Exit is a benchmark for Govt's planning, execution and quality of work.

[@vivekraghuram2459]

IT industry is the most malleable in terms of centralisation. Technically, you don’t need large campuses to work effectively as shown by the pandemic. If government incentivises WFH policies, a lot of the burden on cities will be distributed to surrounding towns and their local economies will also improve. Another important point is to incentivise public transport for state and local governments. Make the buses and trains stick to a proper schedule, and people will prefer to use them. With widespread internet availability, you can also market buses and trains as time-savers because you don’t need to bother about driving. Lastly, invest in local businesses with an emphasis on hand made creative products. In this era of AI, humans are only limited by their creativity. Invest in creativity. Let the machines handle the repetitive tasks. People won’t migrate to large cities if they can find a good quality of life in their hometowns.

As a transportation planner who has lived in Bengaluru for 3 years, I have always pondered about solving this problem. The metro construction should be completed ASAP and augmented with feeder bus system. Additionally, the major trunk roads should be made access-controlled. And the signals should be equipped with traffic cameras with ANPR technology to issue e-fines to traffic rule violators (especially those who make extreme lane changes after crossing the stop line). Air taxi is not going to be affordable for most people.

[@sunilvarmadatla]

Bengaluru is good example of how City should not be planned. There is 12 floor multinational company in Marathalli which has 30 feet road but there is no tarmac. In electronic City Phase 2 which is supposed to be planned city for companies has only 40 feet road. There is no rules how much gap should be left from compound wall and building.

I am from Karnataka. The main reason for this traffic are 1. Bengaluru has a Rapid grouth after 1990. Even population had trippled since 30 years. 2. The rapid growth was not predicted by the government. 3. The major traffic congestion takes place on outer Ring road Junctions which leads to IT parks, Industrial areas from Residential area. 4. Uncontrolled urban grouth around the outer ring road. Irregular planning around IT parks. 5. Needs public transportation options like suburban railways, BRTS. 6. As per planning present metro should have 5 lanes but it is having only 2 lanes. 7. The reality is most of the central govt doesn’t concentrate on Karnataka or Bengaluru. Example Bengaluru metro is only metro project funded by state government thats why it is called as namma metro. 8. The Karnataka state govt should focus on developing tier 2 cities alternative to Bengaluru. Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Gujarat have alternative cities 9. Bengaluru needs self resilient planned satellite cities like Delhi, Mumbai 10. The state govt must have vision towards infra development rather than freebies.

Decentralization of the IT offices by creating satellite cities around Bangalore is a good idea. In addition, Bangalore needs an underground metro system with a tight grid. This grid should be dense enough to allow residents to get to a metro station within a 10-15 min walk from their residences. This will be expensive to build but this is the only practical solution for Bangalore. We shouldn't be thinking of adding more roads but find a way to remove vehicles from the existing roads. Any more delays will only escalate the costs further.

When we move horizontally progress will start happening in every part of India - resulting in better infra, roads, safety and plus better standard of living (with parents, or may be in less pollution). Restrictions on vertical floors and expand horizontally, the more the company expands "Horizontally" the more India grows. 4) The cyclists or walkers to offices should be really rewarded🤩 - they are the professionals who are really saving this world, doing their bit (not just CSR activities, please, but everyday what we do matters). Future generations will be thanking them or they can tell to them, oh! we did our best to save our planet. (Living nearby to office, may increase your budget a bit, but will be at peace, plus you can rent that unit out to someone - time to step out of our comfort zones) 5) Start voting guys😶 - Yes a message to UN-educated again. Most of the people who have migrated to these cities, don't vote. They will just post here and there on social media and that too when something happened with them or with their loved ones. If you are not voting, anyway you don't a right to complain either. Let's live nearby, go via cycle or walk, move to rural areas, expand horizontally and let's Vote. Simple solutions, but DO we/ CAN we really do it?

I agree with this entirely, but most people need a nudge to change behavior especially for alternative modes of transportation like cycling and multi-modal commute. In many other countries, cycling is incentivized by both the governments and employers. They give tax rebates for cycling and also for buying any cycle for work. In France, somewhere I read that their government is offering 4000 euros to those who are willing to exchange cars for an electric cycle.

[@ShivaKumar-tz6or]

The understanding of traffic problems in Bengaluru is no rocket science. The culprit is the MOVEMENT of workforces to industrial hubs from far away located residential areas. Lack of planning residential zones in the vicinity of industrial corridors is the issue here. No roads, rail, air, or water ways would solve this problem designed. There should be a clear policy that should permit industries only if their exists residential land bank in the vicinity. Also, giving incentives to industries that encourage work from home for employees would be a smart approach to takle this traffic issue.

Most of the traffic issue are because of lack of knowledge on road planning. If you see the outer ring road the entry and exit from the service road is same. Who on the earth will design a road like this? Next is lane traffic. Even if you give a little space to the vehicle Infront the next lane guy will cut the lane and merge to here. And final thanks to the BMTC drivers who will focus on how to make a jam by stopping Infront of a exit lane or stopping on the main lane.

No, the biggest problem are the people using cars to go to work. The amount of space the cars take to carry one person is such a waste of space. busses are equal to 3 to 4 cars in terms of taking up space on road but can carry 30-40 people.

[@jayprakashmandal1682]

i think small changes to the rules will make a big difference 1. Any new house or building requires parking in the urban cities else no permission 2. Reconstruction of old government buildings which has few floors to make a parking place in the first few floors and office on top. this way we will have lot of parking place and money for the government. 3. roads near most of the junctions are not proper so vehicles go slow, this create extra layer of traffic. 4. create flyovers where ever possible to reduce the city traffic. these can be a game changer if implemented.

[@AnirudhSrivatsa]

I have a slightly different point of view. Significantly increasing parking facilities and adding lots of flyovers would only provide very short term relief, but would quickly become a much bigger traffic nightmare due to induced demand for more cars. We should reduce (and eventually, end) car dependency by significantly increasing mass public transit such as buses (Bangalore has very few buses compared to its population), dedicated bus lanes, Metro rail (which is in progress, but way too slowly), and even cycling lanes (which are actually a good option for travel within 5-7 km without luggage, which is a significant chunk of the daily urban commute currently being done by cars or cabs). In the long term, we should decentralize workspaces and residential areas and develop more mixed neighbourhoods with a mix of office and residential spaces so that lots of people aren't commuting towards large choke points. And of course, develop great satellite cities about 50-200 km away (Hosur and Mysuru, in Bengaluru's case).

[@pegasus6069]

the problem is more related to unevenly distributed population(large number of people are packed in a small area) and poor road discipline , and less use of public transport from citizen outside karnataka .

What Gadgari said is absolutely right. Its not valid with respect to Bangalore, its with development of every city and towns. However you invest in projects on roads, highways, anywhere in India, its not going to ease and save the time of common people due traffic congestion. On the contrary, instead of investing so much money on infrastructure in the already congested place, there should be decentralisation of companies and commercial establishments coming up. These buildings and employment should be generated everywhere round the city than focussing on only one place. Then there should be this flexi timing introduced and enforced by every company Management and HR, be it big of small. Flexi timing is a great option so that employees travelling an hour early to work and leaving early from work can ease a lot of congestion. Plus ofcourse work from home concept, though should not be permanent, the employees can be given an option of 1 or 2 days work from home. Without all this, new infrastructures will only help the people a little. And people of Bangalore will keep on crying about he traffic. To easte conegestion, traffic distribution, no parking on the road and other small measures are a must.

South People should also learn to movie away from house and move north. Once demanr increases these companies will make buildings in north. I live in Noida and am from Assam.

@@erabhikdasgupta Absolutely South people should and will go to North and other places, but for that North people should develop North to the level of South in all respects. It would be great if all companies set up shop in North as they did in Noida or Gurgaon, but finally both these are nowhere near Bangalore. First and foremost the security and authoritative character of individualism without collective growth has to be shed away and people have to be simple, humble and social in culture to develop uniformly. Forget South even if North develops cities to the level to cater to the people of North, it will be great achievement and more than enough. And mind you South people are more spreaded all over India and the world than people of North. We want to see so many Bangalores in North so that its good for all. People of South will always be ready to share their intellect and experience to develop every part of India.

With rising prices of accomodation, healthcare, traffic congestions, scarcity of water etc. Move out of your comfort zone and come to places where your skills will them those places grow. You need to reach out and help them develop in all respects. You guys need to be the guiding force. Only then this nation will develop. You are not making any money. All that dollar conversation salary you make, you burn in on even getting basic necessities but you can save a lot moee up north and in return north has got to learn a lot from you. Companies will only come when the employees are ready ro come. It may be hardship of 2 to 4 years in terms of food and language but when you work hard to bring that skill upgradation, you will make wonders. The northies workforce who will join and see you as a rold model they will try to work as hard as you do. But as I said you need to take that jimp out of comfort zone but if you keep waiting for miracle of Noida, Gurgaon to come to standards of Bengaluru for you to move then keep cribbing for whole nation. The developed cities will be unaffordable and newer citicies will be unskilled. And when the say you, I meant the entire south, atleast who want to join the workforce now.

You don't want to think out of your comfort zone and then criticize others and find your own excuses. Even rising prices is the responsibility of the people who wants differentiation between people and want everything for their own. How will then things improve or every location grow. First educated and think and move out of your comfort zone and not come, go to your own places and use your skills to develop your own place than going somewhere and spending life elswhere and then keep crying. You guys need to act than just talk. Nation will not develop if ones own place is not developed. So, first improve your roots before day dreaming. Its nothing about money. Money can't make a place or people's life develop. Companies will not come if you keep talking and playing petty useless religious politics than doing something consructive. Philosophy doesn't make you grow. Change your arrogant character and attitude and think collectively even for others.
