Traffic Mess in Bangalore

[suresh_gs]

Director says CUT! Good shot. End of it.


"An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind"

On the lighter side, fortunately this is real and not reel otherwise how many times this should have been enacted to make it picture perfect.

On a serious note, cab drivers drive as if this is their last day on planet earth. Most of the time you can see them speaking over the mobile while driving. Most of them are thugs. The same thing applies to auto drivers too. We have come across cases wherein even volvo bus conductors abuse passengers especially if the victim does not know kannada. Not all cab drivers/autos are at fault. Some times we too are at fault.

All this is because of the crumbling infrastructure in Bangalore. Pathetic roads, Inadequate public transport system. So given an opportunity everyone would like to reach his/her destination at the earliest possible. This results in rash driving,road rage...

True, thats why i mentioned i'v no idea, and only the directors, actors & early crowd would know the script of this shot.

True, everybody is equally responsible for the mess this city is today.

One cannot clap and make noise alone.

True, the administration never imagined of today's Bangalore. And now that they know they are in deep mess, they are in debt, with no money for expansion / maintenance.

Just look at the roads leading to IT hub in ITPL. Dirty & untouched ever since i've moved here. Dry leaves, wastes, sand, concrete lumps on pot holes making it even more dangerous to ride / drive, and what not.

Who would say that Graphite India signal is the major signal leading to MNC's & good hospitals & 5* hotels? This signal is forever messed up.

Authorities will understand once companies start moving out of this city. Only then will they know how to meet the city's growing demand, or at least forecast the requirement and bring it into reality before making it a hub.

I have to bear this ordeal everyday as my office is located in ITPL. Pathetic roads that can break your spinal cord and the vehicle's suspension.

The govt has money. The road tax in Karnataka is the highest in the country. Even the petrol price is the highest in the country. See the amount of high end cars plying on Bangalore roads. Where are all the money going??. Not to the state coffers but to the pockets of the corrupt politicians.
They are lazy and have no vision of improving Bangalore.

Totally agree with Suresh_gs, I think Bangalore's one month Road tax collection alone would be sufficient to overhaul roads of Bangalore.

If you have followed the recent BBMP budget, they have allocated '0' funds to garbage removal. With this state of things I dont think the IT capital is going anywhere.

I am surprised that BBMP has some money with it . No wonder Bangalore is now being called GARBAGE CITY

Oh no, their net worth is in negative . They are planning to rent/lease/sell properties they have.

But that does not stop them for planning a budget for 2014-15

 

[patil]

Don't worry Anshuman now Bangalore will be Garbage capital for world.
BTW BBMP is busy with much bigger task as how to build wonderful bridge like KR Puram hanging bridge, or replicate drainage system of old BMP area to newly added areas.

They have rephrased the name from GAR-DEN to GAR-BAGE.

Yesterday while going back to home evening around 8 pm in ORR I was cruising nicely at 60. All of a sudden a cab from two vehicles behind started honking and flashing for pass. I gave pass after taking to left.

And you imagine the cab was - A Merc for Emirates that too with a foreigner on board.

Cab drivers will remain same whether they drive Indica or Merc.

 

[amit1km]

I think with Merc, the cabbies will become more furious and he shown that to you. Great power comes with more irresponsibility for cabbies.

 

[bReeze AkA brIo]

Wonder if cab drivers are watching Fast & Furious before getting behind the wheels. [thinking]

Probably that's the reason, whatever car they get, they drive like mad.

Afterall they don't own the merc, it's that attitude which makes them drive crazily, anything happens, they run away. And the solution is to teach these fools a lesson by annoying them, in the sense to drive like one of them and trick them.
