Now its my time to travel and feel the Bangalore traffic. Route is Chandapur-Muneshwara Temple. Many people comment badly on the traffic in Bangalore. My place is far away from city and it need more time to reach. BMTC bus takes 30-40minutes to reach my destination. Major trafficking places are madiwala, Silk Board, Bommanahalli, Hosa Road, Electronic City. Meanwhile there's a fly over from Bommanahalli to Electronic city. in which i can save 10 minutes if i catch buses which fly on this.
Everyday its my duty to make sure that i am in time for duty in the morning hours. I leave the place at 7.00 - 7.10am. My friends suggested to own a bike. in fact i too was thinking the same. It has many facts and disadvantages even thug it is good to have. Main cause is health issues. Secondly i can not drive fast as i want, but can make the driver to go fast by shouting at him from behind. Thirdly maintenance of vehicle. it is tuff to get a mechanic on road if the bike is punctured or damaged, meanwhile if a bus got problem can shift at any point on road.
Everyday i travel in BMTC. many times i'll be late just because of driver's bad performance on road. even the Green signal is ON these won't prefer to go. and most of the times private buses will stop exactly at the end of signal where the vehicles from back can't move. After leaving from a signal bus stops at the respected stations which located. Droping and pick-up the passengers is fine. But why do they need to stop for more than 5minutes in a station when many same route buses are available for the public. In these cases we raise our voices as passengers. According to the sources passengers should not sour at bus crew. But these crew members acts like as if they don't wish to work at all. So there's no other way to keep silence than sooting at them to go fast. On the way if a bus driver slow down the speed and incase he is over taken by more than three buses, once again start shouting at the driver. All these are common in Bangalore public transport.
The facts :-
- If a bus run with minimum speed on road it can not waste time.
- If the cops are frank in their duties, traffic will be no issues in Bangalore.
- Follow the traffic rules and you will be safe forever.
- Leave the place in advance of at least 20 minutes than the scheduled time, so you will reach at least on time to the destination OR maximum of 10miutes delayed if anything wrong on road.
As a travelor i never felt that the traffic in Bangalore is hectic and too much.
