Uber BLR folks, we’re okay, just exhausted in traffic 🥲- Grapevine

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!

Bangalore's infra has been crumbling under the weight of its population growth. I believe that yesterday's traffic jam was just a trailer and situation will only worsen with time. 

Seriously contemplating moving out of Bangalore after being here for last 5 years. 

People who moved out, where did you move? And are you happy now with your decision ?

People who moved out of Bangalore, which city did you move to ?

I am recently gonna shift to Kalyan nagar near Manyata tech park with 2 of my college mates. Both of them have their offices in Manyata tech park and I have my office near forum mall, Koramangala. The reason we are shifting from SG Palya, near christ to Kalyan nagar is that they both have their offices 5 days a week while I have to go only twice a week. My commute is gonna be 14km long one way. We searched for flats in cox town, frazer town, Kodihalli, but either the flats were not available for bachelors or were going way over the budget. At the end of a 3 days long hunt, we found a decent place to stay in kalyan nagar’s, T Krisna Reddy layout. What are the multiple ways to make my commute more efficient. People of blr who already have been commuting please share some advice.

How hard is it to commute in blr?

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

Came down from Delhi NCR for just two days. Everything here was sub par. Weather, traffic, offices, food, you name it

Why does Bangalore suck so much?

Damn, let me tell you how Ola has messed up the auto rickshaw industry! They came in acting all fancy, promising convenience and fair prices. But what do we get? Overcharging like crazy! Their surge pricing during peak hours is a complete rip-off. They take advantage of our desperation and squeeze every penny out of us. And who suffers the most? The hardworking folks who rely on auto rickshaws every day.

But it doesn't stop there. Ola's profiteering tactics have destroyed the earning potential of auto rickshaw drivers. They used to have control over their fares and make a decent living. Now, Ola dictates the prices and leaves the drivers scraping for scraps. It's just not fair! They've disrupted the whole system, and not in a good way. The drivers are struggling, and we passengers are getting ripped off left and right. Ola, you've turned a once reliable and affordable mode of transportation into a nightmare. Shame on you!

Ola didn't disrupt , it destroyed

Is it just me or someone else facing this?

Earlier I could go four rounds in one day, now its just so hard to get hard.

Is it the water or the traffic or the stress of moving.

Please share your thoughts?

I know this isn’t the right platform, but i need to confirm. If we give bad ratings comments on rapido, do the drivers harass us?
I read some reviews on reddit and quora that rapido drivers call back and threaten the people who gave them bad ratings. Is this for real?

Rapido drivers misbehave

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?)

Hey peeps, need comparison of these cities on the basis of the cost of living and ease of living.

Because for Maintaining lifestyle I think we should consider every aspect of expenditure.
And since the time I left Delhi ncr, i haven't had a chance to be in any city which has a closer or better public transport system.

P.S. on quora there are advocates for all 3 cities.

I need a fair opinion on this.

Pune vs Mumbai vs Bengaluru

I know this is not what majority of people like to listen, but for people coming from other cities with no friends and poor social skills, working remote or hybrid starts taking a toll on your mental health. 

The isolation it brings is so overwhelming. You feel trapped and frustrated, when there's no one to talk to.

Sometimes, I feel the quality of life of our kind of lower than street vendors at least they have people they can talk to. I just hate the way we are wired to be social animals yet find it overly difficult to connect with people.

Uber BLR folks, we’re okay, just exhausted in traffic 🥲
