it's refreshing to see a minister/politician talk about his job in such a knowing, clear and properly conveyable manner. one of the good things to happen to india. great respect gadkari sir.

WORK FROM HOME. Only solution. It solves everything. Being a localite it pains me to see the current state of this beautiful city built by our ancestors and Kings. When I see Bengaluru in the 60s, 70s 80s 90s movies, it looks like it was breathing, now it looks its on ventilation.

[AlohaKudla]

I am from Mangalore and would love to see a high speed connection between Mangalore-Bangalore. After working for decade+ in Bangalore I would love to work from my city full time. I am grateful to Bangalore for providing me a job that I love. But city has become too expensive, too loud and too traffic prone from the first days of my life in the city. I hope Bangalore gets more metro lines even to connect areas that is still under development. But as Gadakri ji said, Bangalore need satellite cities like Mangalore, Mysore, Hassan to decongest it.

[PixelAnatomy]

You nailed it, we need to decentralize the IT industry. Thats the only solution possible for Bengaluru. However, that will not happen as our Dy CM and few of or MLAs and ministers are owning large apartment and commercial building real-estate firms which has 100s of acers invested in Bengaluru.

[kishorekurapati]

On Bangalore roads, every junction, service lane merging, joints, etc are designed and constructed to give you an off-roading experience on the city road. Bus stops right before junctions expanding lanes from 3 to 5 and squeezing back to 2 lanes in span of 50 mts is high intellectual thinking. Parking is well planned and managed across the city. Building entries and foot path height is precisely engineered. U-Turns and lane mergings are a bless to Bangalorians. With all such innovations and extreme engineering, Govt still cannot understand why traffic blocks happen in Bangalore.

For example, Electronic City Nice Road Exit is a benchmark for Govt's planning, execution and quality of work.

[sarojeetdash]

As a transportation planner who has lived in Bengaluru for 3 years, I have always pondered about solving this problem.
The metro construction should be completed ASAP and augmented with feeder bus system.
Additionally, the major trunk roads should be made access-controlled. And the signals should be equipped with traffic cameras with ANPR technology to issue e-fines to traffic rule violators (especially those who make extreme lane changes after crossing the stop line).

Air taxi is not going to be affordable for most people.

In Bengaluru, Cars are BS6.2, Road Taxes are BS6.2, but Roads are simply BS

[subramaniprasad]

We need Niti Gadkari kind people, we are fortunate to have Nitin sir as road minister for our country

[sharathahuja]

We need to remove ALL encroachments from our footpaths-Two and Four wheelers, street vendors, sign boards. We need to enforce parking of residential and commercial vehicles in their designated parking spaces, garages, which have been illegally converted into Xerox shops/ice cream parlours/medical This will immediately solve all Traffic Problems for Bangalore and Karnataka.

[lohith_sai]

Decentralization of a city ie, creation of numerous Satellite cities around the major city, with an commendable mass transportation system like the MRTS, may help solve the Bengaluru traffic

But it was really depressing when Mr. Nitin Gadkari simply said "no solution" to my beloved Bengaluru's traffic issue

I feel so depressed & long to go back to the Garden city of Banglore which existed before 2014

IT industry is the most malleable in terms of centralisation. Technically, you don’t need large campuses to work effectively as shown by the pandemic. If government incentivises WFH policies, a lot of the burden on cities will be distributed to surrounding towns and their local economies will also improve. Another important point is to incentivise public transport for state and local governments. Make the buses and trains stick to a proper schedule, and people will prefer to use them. With widespread internet availability, you can also market buses and trains as time-savers because you don’t need to bother about driving. Lastly, invest in local businesses with an emphasis on hand made creative products. In this era of AI, humans are only limited by their creativity. Invest in creativity. Let the machines handle the repetitive tasks. People won’t migrate to large cities if they can find a good quality of life in their hometowns.

[abhishekshankar]

problem is very evident as Nitin Gadkari sir mentioned, Industries cant huddle into a particular city, we need to create avenues/incentives for industries to spread across cities,
IT industry is so centralized in bangalore, it shouldnt be that just 1 city bears the brunt of the entire setup
people may cite silicon valley in US and whatnot, compare the population first .. we need to plan better because of our population..

[rewatkargaurav]

Let the town planner and architects do their work without political interference. Example Chandigarh. Another solution is to decentralize. Nailed it.

[shridharakh]

Immediately 1.Small buses to be introduced to all areas, so that no of cars on the road reduced.:2.Roads to be cleaned properly & footpath cleared properly for pedestrians.3.Proper trafic signals & good motorable roads.This will help the public to reach office, market etc& back.Best example is Hubli Dharwad Bendre city small buses.Bengaluru also can adopt small buses to reach all corners.

[rajeevrp]

When the priority of our people is freebies, infrastructure would suffer. It’s as simple as that.

[akhileshyadav]

First, the focus should be to complete the construction of metros in major areas. Then we should think about cable cars and all other things. It's been going on for more than a decade now.

[binayakbanerjee]

Instead of developing few big cities like Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata goverment should focus on building more tier 3 cities or medium sized smart cities and build on good IT infrastructure in them.People prefer to work in areas close to their home because cultural and language factor.Polpulation will be diversified rather than being centralized to some developed cities.Many states will directly generate employment and thus boosting economy of respective states.Lastly people will lead a healthier livelihood.

[sunilvarmadatla]

Bengaluru is good example of how City should not be planned. There is 12 floor multinational company in Marathalli which has 30 feet road but there is no tarmac. In electronic City Phase 2 which is supposed to be planned city for companies has only 40 feet road. There is no rules how much gap should be left from compound wall and building. Don't even talk about roads. When I came back to Hyderabad, it felt I entered foreign country.

[vaibhavgupta]

I am resident of bangalore. I have noticed few things
1.rapid expantion of metro project which is still going from last 15 year.
2.city should be planned.it is most unplanned city.
3. There is no rickshaw in city. Goverment should encorage rickshaw driver

[dhruvakumar]

The problem with Bengaluru is that all popular wining politicians have so much wealth, it is not humanly possible for any individual to manage that much wealth and concentrate on other works, and they come to power with so many personal promises, it is quite impossible for Bengaluru to make any progress, I would happy if the Bengaluru dosnt fall much
