I tried reporting using new app, but it gets rejected instantly as the photo is not geo-tagged. Looks like I'm not going to report anymore. Earlier, there was option to add the location manually. Now we can't do it.

Well, yes. And I have been using this one since it came up.

Re: Rants on Bangalore's traffic situation

A little welcome respite. Yesterday was a day where for the most part, the roads were bereft of traffic. Lots of folks have gone out of the city. The going was pretty good on my in-city-joy-shopping-rides, except in patches.

However, here’s the rub; considering the humongous taxes that we pay for everything here in KA, it is unbelievable how bad the potholes and debris-laden rough patches are - Eejipura, Inner Ring Road, HSR, both the Agara roads and parts of the Outer Ring Road too.

All of this adds considerably to the snail’s pace of traffic, road-rage, frustration, lack of civic sense, unruliness, lane indiscipline and so on.

And we, the tax paying residents, who are actually (supposedly) deeply invested in this city from a financial, effort and emotional stand point, seem to be just standing by and watching the miserable-ness, just like Nero’s Guests’did.

We seem to be so innured to these circumstances and apathetic to them too, that we have completely tuned-out while going about our business.

I wonder if there is ever going to be any hope for redemption here.

I had a visitor from Bombay comment 'The hell is this surface?', when passing through CBD!

'These are the OK bits. You wouldn't want to see the suburbs. Best we pretend ORR doesn't exist at all'.

You know things are bad when a Bombay dweller, one from the seventh(ish?) circle of infrastructure hell, has cause for complaint going through the middle of your city.

Re: Rants on Bangalore's traffic situation

For the first time, drove from Banashankari to Marathahalli on ORR. Used the double decker flyover and everything was a breeze.

21 kms in 40 minutes. I left early giving it 90 mins.

I guess, the situation was same throughout BLR, because of 'holiday today' for govt offices, banks, some companies and then summer holidays started for all the schools. Even for me, I reached office in a record time, 23 kms in 36 mins.
