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

Bengaluru's tech corridor Outer Ring Road, witnessed an unusually massive traffic jam on September 27 evening.
Deputy Commissioner of Police-West (Traffic) Kuldeep Kumar R Jain, wrote on Twitter (formerly X), "There is a huge traffic pile-up on ORR from Marathahalli to Sarjapur. Please instruct ITBT companies located on ORR not to rush out as there is a massive jam due to invariably high number of vehicles."
HAL airport officials said that the traffic volume is exceptionally high due to upcoming holidays.
According to the city police, a large number of people are leaving the city ahead of the extended holiday period. September 28 is a holiday for Eid Milad-Un Nabi, many pro-Kannada organisations called for the Cauvery bandh on September 29, followed by the weekend, and October 2 marks Gandhi Jayanti.

Doesn't sound right. A city this big should have better infra than that crumbles just because a part of the city is going for vacations

Too many things happening at once along with the metro construction. Its good that it didn't rain today.



Ending up walking ~10k to avoid sitting in a cab . Fairly certain I beat the cab by 40 odd minutes

Me after The bellandur traffic today

Amen! Feels like I spent a month of my life driving in a single evening

Why did this even happen? Itโs so random, is it connected to the bandh by any means?
