Rail-based public transport is the only solution to ease Bengaluru's traffic mess - Key to this is the proposed suburban railway network. The Greater Tokyo Area, with a vast suburban network, transports over lakhs of people daily. Here, despite complete support from the Centre, Congress government has stalled and...

Met with DCM Shri DK Shivakumar today to discuss alternatives to the Tunnel Road Project. Expressed our opposition to the project, as it is not a sustainable solution and would not effectively address Bengaluru’s traffic congestion. An 18 km car-centric road is an impractical and unfeasible idea that would only worsen congestion and harm the environment. Urged a shift in focus towards Mass Rapid Transit Systems to truly decongest Bengaluru. Suggested a comprehensive vision with: - A 300 km Metro Rail network (3-min frequency) - ⁠314 km of Suburban Rail - ⁠Modern trams for short-distance commutes This rail-based backbone can help shift over 70% of commuters from roads to rail. Also proposed adding 5,000 BMTC buses, introducing BRTS on ORR, strengthening BMLTA with a full-time Chairman, and launching a mission-mode program to repair and standardize roads and footpaths for a walkable Bengaluru. Recommended a Special War Room to ensure timely Metro completion. Will continue to oppose the impractical, car-only Tunnel Road. A bipartisan approach is essential to solving Bengaluru’s mobility challenges in the city’s long-term interest.

Congress Government's proposal of building tunnel roads displays the tunnel vision of the State Government. Across the world, experience has shown that building more roads has never solved traffic congestion. The only way to solve traffic congestion in cities is by increasing mass rapid transport systems like the metro. The State Government must invest Rs. 50,000 crore on mass rail connectivity in the city & not waste it on tunnel roads.

What Bengaluru needs is Mass Rail Transport systems, not Tunnels, to solve the congestion problem. Metro + Suburban Rail + Last Mile Connectivity is the solution. The Bengaluru Suburban Rail project is now being done on priority with an aim of providing Intermodal Connectivity in the city. Watch Union Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw Ji’s views on this today while launching the Bengaluru Mumbai Bi Weekly Express Train.

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

The Tunnel Road, which is meant to resolve traffic, will end up creating 22 additional choke points - as per the project's DPR itself. For instance, near Lalbagh Siddapura Gate, traffic from the tunnel will merge onto the Wilson Garden - Ashoka Pillar Road, creating a congestion point where there's none. Tunnels are meant to save time and shorten travel distance but this Bengaluru tunnel will actually increase travel distance by 2 km as each entry and exit ramp is more than 1 km long. This tunnel road is clearly a disaster for Bengaluru. Watch.

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.

Mumbai is imagining a new way to move; not above ground, but beneath it. MMRDA’s proposed Integrated Tunnel Road Network will create a 70-kilometre system of underground corridors linking the Mumbai Coastal Road, BKC Bullet Train Terminal, and CSMIA Terminal 2, with future extensions to the Eastern and Western Expressways and a north–south urban spine. Designed to ease congestion and connect the city’s key transport and business hubs, this underground network represents the next frontier in Mumbai’s mobility vision. Currently in the Detailed Project Report (DPR) stage, MMRDA has invited tenders for consultants to design the blueprint, which will be implemented in phases subject to government approval, traffic demand and future growth. #MMRDA50 #TransformingMumbai #MumbaiInMinutes #UrbanInnovation #InfrastructureForFuture #RebootingMumbai #ReshapingMMR #SmartMobility #IntegratedTunnelRoad Devendra Fadnavis Eknath Shinde - एकनाथ शिंदे Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee

Bengaluru is being strangled by a corrupt government that refuses to govern. The traffic crisis is worsening by the day, and the core reason is staring us in the face: the explosion of private vehicles. But instead of addressing this, the state government is fuelling it. Instead of building mass public transport, it has launched a war against it. At a time when every rupee of public money should be invested in making public transport more available, more affordable and more reliable, this government has done the opposite. It is punishing those who rely on public transport and actively incentivising more car and two-wheeler ownership. The state wants to spend ₹1 lakh crore to build 100 kilometres of new flyovers and 18 kilometres of tunnel roads - a gift wrapped package for the politician-contractor lobby. But here’s the punchline: more than 20 flyovers have been pending for close to eight years, lying incomplete across the city. Before even completing what it has already failed, the government wants to throw billions more at the same failure. This isn’t infrastructure building. This is an addiction to kickback-paying contracts. The ₹18,000 crore tunnel road is the peak of this madness — a vanity project that benefits only private cars while being a death sentence for the city’s public transport system. It will not serve the pedestrian, the cyclist, the commuter - it will serve only the cars, the SUVs. It won’t serve the common guy who uses the BMTC or the metro. While the government wants to build more roads, it is killing last mile connectivity. Carpooling, bike-sharing, and auto-sharing remain unsupported. It refuses to allow private players to run buses alongside BMTC, despite the overwhelming demand. Metro fares are being hiked unscientifically, pushing people away from mass transit instead of into it. Meanwhile, ridership in Metro is weakening. And the result? The roads are flooded with cars. A recent study by Bengaluru Traffic Police on Outer Ring Road found a 20% increase in vehicle numbers in just one year, resulting in a 125% increase in congestion. This is not sustainable. This will lead to a total collapse of the city. Every delay in Metro completion brings more cars onto the streets. Every step taken to weaken the bus system brings more two-wheelers into the chaos. Bengaluru already has more private vehicles than people. No other global city in our population bracket has done this because no other city has such a suicidal mobility policy. Let’s be clear: this government’s mobility policy is not citizen-centric. It is contractor-centric. It is not about moving people - it is about moving cars. This is a government in the grip of a politician-bureaucrat-contractor nexus, that would rather pour concrete than build a city that works. And who is paying the price? The nurse who takes the bus. The student who walks to the Metro. The delivery rider stuck in traffic. The poor and middle class of Bengaluru, who don’t own cars, but are cross-subsidising roads that are built exclusively for car owners. This is not just poor governance. It is structural injustice. This assault on Bengaluru must stop. Every rupee of public money must be redirected to public transport. That is the only globally proven solution to decongestion and cities with denser populations than ours have done it. What’s missing here is not technology or funds. What’s missing is political will. And that will won’t come from those in power. It must come from the people of Bengaluru. From those who are stuck in traffic and fed up of being lied to. From those who are tired of vanity projects and demand real mobility solutions. From a new generation of leadership that fights for commuters, not contractors. Bengaluru is choking. We can either demand change - or let this city be buried under its own traffic. Let’s tell loud and clear - Public Transport is our Fundamental Right. We need our government to provide it. My remarks at the World Symposium on Sustainability & Livability hosted by IISc Bangalore.

Have always advocated for lower fares in public transport systems so that more people can use the Metro and buses instead of taking out their private vehicles. However, the state government has made the Metro fares the most expensive in the country which incentivises people to commute in their car or two wheeler. Currently, about 10 lakh people travel by Metro and around 45 lakh people use BMTC buses in Bengaluru. Yet, instead of building better public transport solutions with a big outlay, the Congress government is out to build a car-only tunnel road totally costing about Rs 43,000 crore. Watch.

The Tunnel Road saga shows how our public money is being misused in the garb of easing traffic congestion. According to IISc studies, the tunnel can carry only 1,800 people per hour per direction, while a metro line on the same route can move 40x number of people per hour per direction. A person using the tunnel road has to also pay a toll of Rs 330 per trip one way or about ₹20,000 per month. What's a better way to utilise public money in such a scenario? A disastrous project or a long term public transport solution? Watch.

The Government has approved an eastern coast railway project forming part of the Howrah–Chennai High Density Network. The corridor spans from Kolkata through Odisha covering Balasore, Bhadrak, Jakhapura, Haridaspur, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, Khurda and Berhampur, and extends into Andhra Pradesh through Naupada, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam up to Vijayawada and Chennai. This stretch is being developed as a four lined corridor to ease congestion and improve connectivity. The project will benefit major ports such as Kakinada, Machilipatnam and Gangavaram, strengthening cargo movement and logistics. The project includes 3 mega bridges, 58 major bridges, 416 minor bridges, 73 underpasses and 3 flyovers, along with a 2.7 km elevated railway line, with a total track length of about 458 km. Designed for high density, high capacity and high speed operations, it will address heavy traffic across the corridor. The project is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 51.5 crore kilograms annually, supporting a shift from road to rail and improving environmental sustainability. -Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw #CabinetDecisions

The ₹18,500 Cr Tunnel Scam is not a mobility solution, it's a world-class corruption project by the Congress Govt in the state led by CM Siddaramaiah & DCM DK Shivakumar. It aims to serve the 10% car owning elite while burdening 90% of taxpayers who await better public transport. Here’s why: 1. Built for cars, not the city As per IISc data: - Tunnel (cars only): 600-1600 people/hour - Tunnel (with 2Ws): 7,500 people/hour - Metro (same corridor): 25,000 people/hour Yet, the govt wants to spend taxpayer money on a project for less than 10% who own private cars. This is perhaps only going to benefit the crorepatis of Sadashivnagar & Koramangala 4th block & not the common man. 2. BBMP's ₹9.5 Cr Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V DPR job BBMP paid a hefty sum of public money to allegedly debarred consultants for a bogus feasibility report. Some blatant irregularities in their reports - - Feasibility report created after Jan 2024, uses traffic survey images from Aug 2023 - Traffic junction photo from 2019 appears in a 2024 report. - Even worse, the reports refer to Malegaon-Nashik in Maharashtra while analyzing Bengaluru's traffic! This isn't planning, it's daylight robbery. It's a Rs 9.5 Cr fraud paid for with hard earned taxpayers money. 3. India’s most expensive road per km. If executed, the ₹18,500 crore Tunnel Road will be the most expensive road per kilometre in the world. Will they build it with golden bricks? Why this vanity White Elephant? For perspective: - Bengaluru–Mysuru Expressway: ₹8,500 Cr for 119 km (6 lanes) - Atal Tunnel: ₹3,000 Cr for 9 km through the Himalayas - Mumbai Coastal Road: ₹13,000 Cr for 29.2 km with undersea tunnel - Kerala Coastal Highway: ₹6,500 Cr for 625 km with multiple tunnels - KR Puram–Silk Board Metro: ₹5,500 Cr for 18 km with 13 stations Congress wants ₹18,500 Cr for just 18 km, only for cars. Bengaluru’s future is being mortgaged for a vanity project that serves contractors, not its citizens. We will oppose this scam in the streets, in the courts, and in the Vidhana Soudha & Parliament. Bengaluru & Bengalureans deserve better! #SayNoToTunnelRoads
