Bangalore's Traffic condition

Traffic on muddy, potholed, uneven roads in Bangalore laden with unwanted speed breakers and one-ways will make most of the patient drivers loose their cool.

I have heard even lady drivers swear at the call-centre taxi drivers who would make a wrong sharp cut to get a side or honk incessantly when the traffic is jammed.

To add to the woes of this city, apartments have come up beside all major roads. The road joining Airport and Kundalahalli gate (way to ITPL and Whitefield Industrial Area) has a major roadblock after the marathalli junction in the form of a bridge above a railway line.

There are two apartments already on one side of the bridge and two more big apartments coming up on the other side (Purvankara and Rohan Vasantha). Imagine thousands of families coming to stay in these apartments in an year or so and their hundreds of cars in and around the area.

How will they get on to the bridge is a big question?

Karnataka government has recently announced that this road from Airport to Kundalahalli gate will be converted into a four-lane road in eight straight months after the tender is passed.

It wouldn’t take much time for these eight months to pass by or, would it?

Besides all this hell, there are some senior coalition leaders who are trying to stall Government's plans to make metro rail up and running. Their reasons are trivial.

Delhi is an example where the Government not only overcame traffic problem but also reduced the time to commute. Hundreds of bridges were constructed in two-three years and metro rail was completed ahead of its schedule. Commendable! Pollution, too, is not a problem in Delhi anymore .

Unfortunately, other developing metropolitans don't want to follow Delhi.

There are many other grand plans for improvement in Bangalore's infrastructure but for the time being, the city seems to be reeling under its traffic throes
