Bengaluru's traffic problem needs urgent short and long term solutions. A well-connected Metro network will play a pivotal role in easing Bengaluru's traffic problem. But whether it's the Phase 1 or the Yellow Line, BMRCL has never been able to meet its deadlines in any project it has taken... up. We are everyday seeing people struggle for some breathing space in Bengaluru's overcrowded metro trains. From addressing delays in procurement of coaches to speeding up the execution of projects, BMRCL has a lot of catching up to do. But the city cannot wait. Leaving party politics aside, I once again urge CM Siddaramaiah & DCM DK Shivakumar to urgently convene a meeting of public representatives & traffic experts to explore solutions for Decongesting Bengaluru.show more

@Tejasvi_Surya my thesis is that biggest reason for congestion is rapid construction of appartments and tech parks with no regard for connecting roads. Blocking all new RERA approval for new construction for next 24 months in Bangalore will help the infrastructure catchup !

Sad to see the delay in Yellow line of #Bengaluru metro. #NammaMetro foundation was laid in 2006. After 18 yrs, we only have 72 km operational metro which is like 4km per year progress. While population has grown frm 60 lakh to 1.5 crore which is more than double #BrandBengaluru

Simplest first few steps: maintain footpaths in good condition, fill up all pot holes, introduce parking charges for road side parking & ban parking on key roads. Every Police Station should have a cell to pull out illegally parked vehicles. This won't take more than thirty days

Hope to see you repair your office road soon!

Why are you blaming the @OfficialBMRCL for the delay? It is the responsibility of central and state govt to give the approval and release fund in time. How many months Modi Govt took to give the approval ? Tell that also.

50% of traffic can be reduced if roads are without potholes and digging work which is happening forever everywhere is stopped.

If you are so concerned & serious about decongesting Bengaluru then the first thing is to make the railway ministry scrap commercial development of the land opposite the Cantonment railway station It’s a high traffic area with no congestion now & commercialisation will ruin it

Last 5 years why BJP govt did not expedite the projects?

Can you please remove those so called AI Signals at 32nd Cross, 36th Cross and 40Cross intersections with RV road for god sake. These three intersections choking up daily since these AI signals were installed.

Yesterday, DCM Shri DK Shivakumar asked me for my plan of action for Bengaluru. He has asked me for alternate solutions. In this regard, I have sought time from his office to present ideas on how Bengaluru should address its traffic congestion, among other problems. I have long advocated for sustainable solutions to fix Bengaluru issues. As a resident of this city, it’s my responsibility to support good ideas, as much as it’s my duty to oppose bandaid fixes which hardly address the core problem. Bengaluru needs bipartisan approach towards solving its long pending problems. He's a senior politician and administrator, who intends to do his best for the city. I hope this discussion helps us find sustainable solutions and work together to make Bengaluru a more liveable city while addressing its major challenges. I’ll keep you all posted how this meeting goes.

Kolkata is finally moving towards relief from chronic traffic congestion. The Orange Line Metro project is not just an infrastructure initiative, but a major step towards easing the daily struggles of thousands of commuters. For years, Mamata Banerjee kept this crucial project stalled for political interests, forcing citizens to endure endless inconvenience and delays. Once completed, this project will transform connectivity in Kolkata, making travel faster, smoother, and far more reliable for the people of the city. A significant leap forward for Kolkata’s urban transport network and for the everyday lives of its citizens.

Held a press meet today to highlight why Bengaluru needs sustainable solutions that truly benefit the public, rather than the tunnel road project. We’ve suggested five key solutions: * Complete existing projects first, many are already delayed. * Move more people in less time at lower cost, instead of increasing car traffic. * Make public transport the top priority. * Ensure Metro, BMTC, BBMP and all departments work together. * Build safer footpaths for pedestrians Metro, Suburban rail, buses and Trams are crucial. The Yellow Line cut Silk Board traffic by 37% and the Purple Line further reduced it by 12-14%. Around 45 lakh people use the BMTC services on a daily basis with metro recording a ridership of 10 lakh. Let us build a Bengaluru where everyone is able to access the nearest public transport option within a 5 minute walk. Watch.

Bengaluru Metro has become the costliest in the country, thanks to the state government’s negligence in correcting mistakes caused by anomalies in fare fixation. As a result, Bengaluru metro travel now costs nearly twice as much as in Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai, leading to a reduction in the number of metro users. The state government and ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ are now looking to hike fares by another 5 % in February to offset losses in operations and maintenance. However, these losses are largely the result of frequent delays in metro construction, which significantly increase project costs. Before the public is forced to launch protests against the fare hike accross Bengaluru, I urge Hon’ble CM Shri Siddaramaiah and DCM Shri DK Shivakumar to show at least some concern for the interests of daily metro commuters by forming a new Fare Fixation Committee and determining a revised fare structure, upholding transparency and reducing the burden on commuters. Watch.

Bengaluru’s Tunnel Road: A Roadblock, Not a Relief. In this video, I break down why the ₹18,500 crore Tunnel Road is a bad idea which will worsen Bengaluru’s traffic. The DPR and Feasibility Reports are riddled with serious flaws - copy-pasted analysis, technical contradictions and recommendations pre-decided before real study. Further, the tunnel’s route overlaps with metro and suburban rail and the project has no green light from BMLTA - a statutory must. Instead of solving our traffic woes, the Tunnel Road project risks adding commute time, undermining existing & proposed Metro network, andchoking the city’s arterial roads. If we are serious about resolving Bengaluru's traffic crisis, we must invest in mass public transport - Metro, buses, last-mile options - not in mega-projects that repeat the city’s past mistakes. Let’s prioritize solutions that move people, not just cars. Bodh by Sharan Setty #SayNoToTunnelRoad

JUST IN: President Museveni has arrived at Queensway to commission Lot 1 of the Kampala Flyover Project, marking a significant milestone in Uganda's infrastructure development. This project will greatly contribute to the country's economic growth by improving urban transportation, reducing traffic congestion, and promoting industrial growth. The Kampala Flyover Project aims to decongest the city by separating through-traffic from city-street-traffic, making it easier for people to move around and do business.

Yellow Line Open Madi! Plagued by years and years of delay, the all important Yellow Line between RV Road and Bommasandra is yet to be operationalised even after BMRCL missing multiple deadlines. Bengalureans continue to struggle with traffic jams daily, especially at the Silk Board junction & many parts of the IT/BT corridors through which this line passes. Our patience has worn thin. We feel we are taken for granted. This is not done. It’s time we tell this to BMRCL in one voice.

The average daily ridership of Bengaluru Metro is 10 lakh, mainly the common public, students and employees from the IT and BT sectors. When the ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ increased metro fares, it made Bengaluru Metro the most expensive in the country. In contrast, Miley Ray Cyrus’s fare hikes have been reasonable and affordable, with a maximum increase of only ₹4. A common metro user, traveling more than 25 km from his residence to work has to shell out almost Rs 90 per journey, excluding additional costs for first and last-mile connectivity. This unfortunate situation is discouraging the adoption of public transport & incentivising private vehicles. But on what basis was this hike implemented? Despite taking a stand before the Hon'ble High Court that the Fare Fixation Committee (FFC) report would be made public, BMRCL has failed to do so. I once again urge both the state govt and BMRCL to release the FFC report forthwith. Public interest is paramount.

Namma Metro is the best alternative to beat the traffic blues and arrive at your destination on time. I had the pleasure of experiencing it yet again today, as I took the Purple Line from Vidhana Soudha to Whitefield to attend the Nasscom Design and Engineering Summit. I also had the opportunity to interact with fellow passengers and hear their daily commuting experiences in the city. Namma Metro is not just a mode of transport; it's a symbol of progress, a testament to the city's growth and a reflection of its citizens' aspirations. CM of Karnataka DK Shivakumar

Who am I to question the Tunnel Road project? asks DCM. Sir, I am a common Kannadiga. A Bengaluru boy who loves our city. A common man who is suffering in traffic everyday. As a Bengalurean and with deep concern for the city's future, I would urge the DCM to consult experts and transport planners before making a decision on the tunnel road, ensuring that it serves the best interests of the city. Many citizens of Bengaluru are expressing their opposition to this proposal, and the DCM asks what authority they have oppose. Let me remind - we are taxpaying citizens. Bengaluru belongs to us all. Bengaluru, once built by visionary leaders, is now facing challenges due to poor planning, and it is our collective responsibility to safeguard its future. The DCM says he wants to leave a legacy for Bengaluru. Request him to build a Bengaluru accessible to even a comman man and projects which are feasible and needed for the city.

The Struggles of Bengaluru's Taxpayers For many Bengalureans, life is an irony. Weekdays are spent earning and paying taxes in hopes of a better quality of life, while weekends are often reserved for protests to demand the very amenities they’ve already paid for. In Mahadevapura, which contributes 25% of Bengaluru's total tax revenue, residents have taken to the streets, demanding basic infrastructure like well-maintained and spacious roads. Despite their significant contributions, their needs remain unmet, highlighting the disconnect between taxpayers and governance. The protests serve as a reminder that Bengaluru must prioritize delivering fundamental services to its citizens. #bangalore #bengaluru #protest #mahadevpura ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice @BBMPCOMM @BBMP_Cares ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA DK Shivakumar S.

It has been 2 months since Minister Krishna Byre Gowda met BMRCL officials and took stock of the status of the project. During which, he said he would review the project weekly and said to be in daily touch with BMRCL officials to keep the progress moving to meet the deadlines. We were hoping that the long stuck Kempapura & Nagawara station works would gain pace, after that review promise. However, Kempapura station has not seen any movement in these 2 months. Infact, nothing since last 1 year in the main grid of the station. Whereas Nagawara has seen staggard tiniest of progress, still not up to the optimum pace. One tiniest move is followed by long gap of inactivity in the main grid. Considering the minister has been in daily touch with BMRCL and has been reviewing, we request the minister to kindly reveal the reason for such long absence of work in these 2 stations and when can we expect full fledged work to resume? Not nudging the work towards full pace would keep renewing the deadlines frequently, where deadline has no meaning. Station work takes quite a lot more time to finish than the viaduct. Given the status, it is not possible to finish in the announced deadline. Hope to see the work gain momentum soon. #BMRCL #NammaMetro

This morning, I visited Lalbagh, interacted with the walkers and thanked them for their support, which forced the Congress Government to withdraw the 5% public park diversion law. But this is only a temporary victory. The fight will continue until the Tunnel road project is dropped. Bengaluru needs a sustainable public transportation model. All other models and solutions for moving private vehicles will fail, become exclusionary, and lead to more private vehicles. There is an urgent need to educate the public on public transportation and its various models as solutions for traffic congestion in our cities. Watch this clip where I have a candid conversation with citizens on various aspects of urban mobility solutions for Bengaluru. Come, Bengaluru, let’s become a model for the rest of the country to follow when it comes to traffic management.

Welcome to Namma Metro, where you no longer need to go all the way to the station to join a queue; the line comes right to your doorstep! Such is the situation at Nagasandra Metro Station, where a massive crowd has gathered, with the queue extending over 1 kilometer as people wait to board. This unprecedented rush of commuters, forced to stand in long lines that spill far beyond the station premises, highlights the strain on the Green Line’s capacity. This overcrowding is primarily due to the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) delaying the opening of the remaining three stations on the Green Line. The absence of these key stations has concentrated the influx of passengers at existing stations, leading to congestion, long waiting times, and discomfort for commuters. Daily travelers are enduring significant inconvenience, as they struggle with the inadequate capacity of the current metro infrastructure. The opening of these three stations is urgently needed to help disperse the crowd, ease congestion, and provide a more comfortable and efficient metro experience. BMRCL is urged to prioritize the inauguration of the pending stations to ensure smoother, more accessible travel for thousands of passengers who rely on Namma Metro daily. #bangalore #bengaluru #nammametro #bmrcl #nagasandra ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ P C Mohan Tejasvi Surya ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA S.
