Why is traffic in Bangalore so bad these days?

The traffic fiasco of yesterday made the news. Bangalore peeps be like... "Arey maa c#udi hai" https://beatrootnews.com/custom/share?type=article&slug=-bengaluru-traffic-mess-peaks-school-students-reach-home-at-night-651515e2b0d71

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!

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.

Hey folks, Hope it's going well. BLR folks who faced the ruthless traffic yesterday, hope you're in a better place now :p What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything, without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of it like the watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from you.

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

I have lives in a lot of cities, both tier 1 and tier 2. But nowhere have i seen road quality as pathetic as in Bangalore. Even remote villages in UP have better paved roads. And living in Delhi, I had almost forgotten that potholes still exist. I really want to understand how the silicon valley of India has completely failed at building even an average level road infrastructure? Is it due to corruption or something else that we don’t know of?

Just a random question in my mind. Would like to know about any ideas you have, even non feasible ones.

Can someone tell what is the reason behind so much unorganised infrastructure of banglore, i mean why even the newer areas seem not well planned .

I'm a 28-year-old married (Wife is also working) individual currently residing in Kolkata, where the living expenses are relatively low. I have 5 years of work experience, and my current compensation package is 28 lakhs fixed and 3 lakhs variable (approximately 1.95 lakhs in-hand salary after deductions). With no liabilities or responsibilities, my monthly expenses are around 40,000 INR, and I manage to invest around 1.5 lakhs per month. Currently, I enjoy a stable job and live with my parents, who take care of most of my living expenses. However, I'm considering the possibility of switching jobs and moving to another city, which would require me to bear the additional costs of rent, food, and other living expenses on my own. Question: Given my current financial situation and the potential for increased living costs in a new city, should I explore a job switch and relocation? Or should I continue with my current stable job and living arrangement in Kolkata, where my expenses are minimal? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

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?)
