You really think Bangalore traffic can’t get worse. Like no way right?! aaaand the city just shows you the finger. 

Main road what? Service road who?

Bangalore traffic is a great leveller. It never discriminates anyone on the basis of CTC

Bangaluru has the highest number of cars in India, overtakes Delhi.

Bengaluru, world's second-most congested city.

Project Coordinator

Came to blr for the first time. And I was greeted with traffic jam. Blr is so far behind on basic city infrastructure. Imo even Kolkata has better roadways and connectivity. 
But the Bengaluri metro is impressive.

(Also why is the airport outside the city?)

This calls for a long post (because why not :P)

P.S. It just got too long so dividing in two parts . Coming up next, stay tuned!

"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.

Bengaluru's severe water crisis and traffic congestion are prompting tech giants to consider relocating from the $245 billion IT hub. The city's civic challenges may impact India's IT industry landscape, compelling companies to explore emerging cities.

Hi all,
Moving to Bangalore next month. Reaching out for residential apartment guidance.

What are some large apartment societies (1000+ flats with own amenities including clubhouse - gym, swimming pool, kids' play area etc.) in and around the Bellandur-Sarjapur area?

Thanks for the inputs.

There’s either water logging or no water at all
There’s either stand still traffic or spend 3 days in the car traffic
Bangalore airport is in Hyderabad

But the weather is good and there’s cherry blossoms macha!

"Macha why do you like Bangalore? Weather bro."

These tech bros can't stand normal weather, but will go through shitty infra, traffic, hooliganism, and what not for slightly better weather.

Bangalore is an over-rated city

Bangalore metro vibes same as Delhi Blue line..
Full dhakka mukki.. crowded

Bangalore

It took 2 hrs from Sarjapur to Airport, out of which 1 hour was only for crossing Marathahalli.

It feels so stupid calling Bangalore a Tier 1 city, bhai Paani nahi hai airport jaane me flight ka aadha kharcha lag jata time ke saath. Why am I even paying tax.

Airport Rant

I have train to catch at Yeshwantpur station.

Metro will be operational?

Coz I think it will ge best as pro kanada activists will be on road and may vandalise car bus auto etc

Staycation for 2wk at Goa(south).

I was standing near Whitefield in my 4 wheeler around midnight, just away from the hustle bustle of the fast life, smoking a cigarette and had a beer 1 hour before the incident (beer can was present in the car) when a police Jeep stopped and asked me to come out. 

They checked my entire car (to find more illegal drugs 'read Marijuana') but didn't find anything. 

Started threatening me with the car seizure. 
When I asked them to do breath analyzer test as I was 100% sure of being in the permissible limit, they asked me to come to police station for the same after they issue me a challan. 

How can they issue a drink driving challan when I am not drunk and without a breath analyzer?
And started threatening me with 25000 rs fine plus car being released in 6 months plus more than a lac of rupees in lawyer cost. (Ofcourse bullshitting me)

They were doing the proper good cop bad cop tactic and I had to pay them 7k bribe just to get out of there. (Couldn't risk the whole court drama, couldn't afford time as I was roaming without the knowledge of my family and avoid anxiety to them and my car also has northern registration)


But is this justified ? 
Can we not even smoke a cigarette in our vehicle in this godforsaken city  ? 
Do we need to be mindful of the goons or the police ? 

Anyways, what is the best way to get out of such situations?

We also have UPI, we too book cabs, we too have famous food places and better in most cases. We face traffic too, it rains in other parts of India too. You all need to calm down
