Better Bangalore

1) Returning to India? Good... Welcome to India...
2) Returning to Bangalore? Fantastic... Welcome to Garden City...
3) Got an offer from a company located on "Hosur road" or "Electronic City"? Oh! No...

Wait... Think again...
Ask any of your friends about commuting on Hosur Road.
Ask any of your friends about traffic cohos on Hosur Road.
Ask any of your friends about time wasted on Hosur Road.

Let me tell little bit of my experience on this road!

I spend at least 90 minutes/day on hosur road alone for travelling just ~24KM

Why? Traffic Jam, Bumper to bumper traffic etc...

Some main reasons are...
1) No pedestrian under/over bridges [as a result all the pedestrians are on the road disturbing the traffic].
2) Lots and lots of side roads.
3) Bus stops on the road itself.
4) Break down vehicles just standing on the road, not caring for anybody!
5) No lane discipline!
6) Recently they have put heaps of mud which is occupying 10% of the road along the road. And since three days nothing has been done.
7) and many more

Thousands of IT companies/Garment factories/BTcompanies etc., are located on Hosur road (from Koramangala to Electronic city). [I dont understand why everybody is so mad about opening a company on Hosur road!] Commuting between Silk board junction till Electronic City (around 14KM stretch) is really really tough. If you are new to Bangalore, you may ask, Why? and why dont you take alternative road. As usual with Bangalore! Hosur road is the ONLY road leading to Electronic city. Absolutely there are no alternatives. [Readers, please correct me if I am wrong] This roads has to accommodate hundreds of thousands of vehicles every day.

Couple of months back (immediately after some roar of IT gaints against government) there was a news about elevated highway! It seems to have stopped immediately after the soil test.

Elevated highway sounds good, but it may takes long time to implement. In Bangalore if a simple bridge take nearly 2 years imagine how long it may take to build a elevated highway of ~12KM.

Bangalore simple solutions? Like another immediate alternative road, Pedestrain passes to existing road. Widening the existing road. Real traffic police on this road rather than contract workers!

So until this road problem is solved I suggest you to wait and hold on about your relocating plan. I am afraid that your wait may continue for ever.

If you want to be kind on yourself think about alternatives. Save ~10hr/week for yourself by avoiding "Hosur road" the Nightmare.
