Daily Watercooler - 28th September

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.

This Thursday feels more like Friday today, I guess it’s due to the visarjan happening today. Anyways from what I hear the Bangalore traffic problem was an edge case. It’s usually not that bad. Asking because I’m moving there mid next month. It’s usually not that bad right? RIGHT?

@Marketingmidas it does for sure. Sounds like you're moving from Mumbai to Bangalore?

Traffic has been very comparable for me (lived in both cities for long enough). Mumbai is logical traffic, in a straight line, on major expressways. Bangalore traffic is more random/sudden and feels chaotic.

At least that has been my experience. There's a lot of things you'll love about the move to BLR, but traffic might not be one of them :p

I hope the ORR metro gets finished soon. The solution to traffic woes is only in comfortable, convenient public connectivity.

I dont mind sitting hours in traffic reading through Grapevine, it is a problem if I have to drive though. Grapevine is my new Netflix ❤️❤️

Yep, for the rate at which Bangalore has expanded, metro project is coming way too late

Thanks so much for saying this @majboormajdoor, made all of us so happy to read this ❤️

Last night's traffic is making me think of cancelling my plan of bringing a vehicle here. I would rather just walk 5km than get stuck in a vehicle for hours.

Footpaths in such jam scenarios get used by 2 wheelers, so no place to walk either.

lol the footpaths on ORR suck so much you can't even walk properly let alone drive on them
