Since it's an IT hub for many, the transportation infrastructure is yet to get advanced to keep pace with the galore number of on-road vehicles.
Travelling here and there in Bangalore is so much fuss that the traffic consumes half of the day’s time to reach the destination. Validating this, Google Maps found that it’s quicker to walk than to drive through the unending traffic chaos. Since it’s an IT hub for many, the transportation infrastructure is yet to get advanced to keep pace with the galore number of on-road vehicles.

An AAP member and spokesperson Ashok Mruthyunjaya has asked about the cause of this traffic jam as he slams the government for the lack of better public transportation and last-mile connectivity in Bangalore. He stated that the bad roads and the shortage of police personnel result in transportation bedlam.
Bangalore traffic problem? What are the causes? pls comment.
1. Corruption – everyone knows u can pay 100 rs to police and get rid of the breaking rule.
2. Shortage of police personnel. The government does not have funds to hire.
3. Whoever is hired pays a huge bribe for his… pic.twitter.com/eGgbryWaFs— Ashok Mruthyunjaya (@Ashokmruthyu) July 26, 2024
An X handle named Bangalore as the “Traffic Capital of India.” Since it is becoming more virulent day by day it is not that easy to curb the issue but measures have been taken to reduce the risk of travelling in a vehicle through the roads in Bangalore. An entrepreneur based in Bangalore has explained a way to reduce traffic jams as the city has to ponder on innovative ideas like Beijing.

Taking the Bangalore traffic snarls, it is a regular thing that users post on social media as they are stuck in traffic for several hours in the morning when they head up to the office and confront the same plight in the evening when they go back home. India’s Silicon Valley copes with the traffic tangles regularly even if whichever government come and goes traffic issues remain the same and maybe more than that.
