This video should be a reality check for our urban planners. You can stack flyovers, widen roads, and build massive interchanges - but congestion doesn’t disappear, it just moves and multiplies. More roads ≠ less traffic. Real solutions to congestion 👇 > Reliable, affordable public transport > Metro systems...

It is impossible to build wide roads in the narrow lanes and heavy traffic of Varanasi, which is why a ropeway is the most practical solution. It is incorrect to compare it with a bullet train because bullet trains are for long distances, whereas a ropeway is for 'last-mile connectivity' within the city. It is a smart way to eliminate congestion with less space and at a lower cost.

Took the Airport Metro to Delhi Airport T2 today. Reached in less than 20 mins flat. Would have taken more than 52 mins on road as per Google Maps. Just see the video to clearly know why more roads is never the solution for traffic congestion. Mass Rapid Transport is the only way. P.S. Our city Bengaluru painfully awaits the appointment of a full time MD for Bengaluru Metro from last 6 months. All metro line works getting inordinately delayed. But CM of Karnataka blissfully ignoring Bengaluru.

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.

Travelled by the Delhi Metro today to beat the rain & traffic. This journey was an experience of how world-class infrastructure enhances the ease of living for our citizens. Today, Delhi Metro stands as a significant milestone in India’s urban transformation. What began in 2002 with the launch of the Red Line under Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Govt has grown into a modern and expansive network. Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji, the metro network has expanded from 248 km in 2014 to over 1,100 km in 2026. Its reach has grown from 5 cities to 26, ensuring seamless and reliable connectivity for the people. Let us continue to support and use public transport; Easy mobility, less congestion on roads & better health. 'One Practice-Triple Benefits'.

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.

Stuck in traffic again this long weekend? You can thank David Eby and the BCNDP’s failure to fix BC’s infrastructure bottlenecks. But there’s hope ahead! John Rustad's plan, which includes replacing the George Massey Tunnel, expanding Highway 1 to six lanes, and building a new Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, is designed to alleviate congestion and eliminate bottlenecks that have plagued BC for years. These projects will finally get us out of gridlock and keep traffic moving smoothly. Real solutions are on the way! Enjoy your Thanksgiving 🦃 weekend!

Chaired a high-level review meeting today at the DGP Office on the implementation of our Safe City Project, with the 4 commissioners of police and the 3 Municipal Commissioners and Transport Commissioner .As Hyderabad grows rapidly, so must our approach to urban safety. The Safe City Project is our commitment to building a safer, smarter city for women, children, senior citizens, pedestrians and every resident powered by technology and coordinated action. We reviewed progress on several fronts today which are Technology-driven policing, to maximise use of HD CCTV surveillance, Integrated Command & Control Centres in all commissionerates , Intelligent Traffic Management Systems, AI and smart monitoring for stronger crime prevention and faster emergency response. 12 Mobile She Toilets are already functional across the city We decided to have 12 more so that each of 12 zones in the 3 municipal corporations have two each . 2,306 cameras operational under Phase-I, with 862 more underway in Phase-II. Instructed all cameras be kept fully functional at all times. Pelican Signals (Pedestrian signals) to be active now at 77 locations which will be attempted to be utilised by using traffic volunteers to help pedestrians cross over . GHMC will maintain all the 404 traffic signals and improve pedestrian infrastructure in congestion-prone areas. For public awareness, directed continued use of our mobile campaign vehicles to educate citizens on safety, traffic rules, cybercrime and anti-drug initiatives. The Safe City Project reflects what coordinated effort between Police, GHMC and government departments can achieve a safer, smarter Hyderabad for all. #TelanganaPolice

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

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.

🚨BENEFITS OF DEDICATED BUS LANES🚨🇷🇼 🚍1. FASTER &RELIABLE TRAVEL •Buses avoid traffic congestion •Travel time becomes shorter and more predictable. •This improves schedule adherence and reduces passenger uncertainty. •Fewer delays, better punctuality. 📊 Example: •Before: Travel time varies between 20–45 minutes due to traffic •After: Travel time becomes 20–25 minutes consistently. 👉 Plan your journey with confidence ⏱️ 2. REDUCED WAITING TIME •Faster circulation allows buses to complete routes quicker. •Operators can provide more frequent service using the same fleet. •Less waiting at stops 📊 Example: •Before: One bus every 20 minutes → average waiting time ≈ 10 minutes •After: Faster trips allow one bus every 10 minutes → average waiting time ≈ 5 minute 👌Waiting time is cut by 50%, without adding more buses—just by improving speed and circulation. 👉 Save time every day. 🌍 3. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS •Encourages people to shift from private cars to public transport. •Reduces traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and emissions. •Supports cleaner urban mobility and climate goals. 📊 Example: •Before: 1,000 people travel using 700 cars (average 1.4 persons/car) •After: 500 people shift to buses → only 350 cars remain. 👌350 fewer cars on the road → significant reduction in fuel use and emissions 👉 Move toward sustainable mobility 💰 4. COST EFFICIENCY •Higher speeds mean buses can serve more trips per day. •Better fleet utilization reduces the need for additional buses. •Lower operational costs per passenger. 📊 Example: •Before: One bus completes 4 trips/day •After: With faster lanes, same bus completes 6 trips/day •To serve 60 trips: Before → 15 buses needed After → 10 buses needed 👌 5 buses saved, reducing fuel, maintenance, and staffing costs 👉 Efficient & financially sustainable 💰 5. INCREASED PASSENGER CAPACITY •One dedicated bus lane can carry far more people than a car lane. •Moves large volumes efficiently, especially during peak hours. •Ideal for high-demand corridors. 📊 Example: •Car lane: 1,000 cars/hour × 1.5 persons ≈ 1,500 people/hour •Bus lane: 60 buses/hour × 50 passengers ≈ 3,000 people/hour 👌 Bus lane carries 2× more people using the same road space 👉 Move people, not just vehicles 🛣️ 6. IMPROVED ROAD SAFETY •Separate buses from traffic •Fewer conflicts & accidents •Safer for pedestrians & cyclists 📊 Example: •Before: 10 conflict points (cars + buses mixing at intersections and lanes) •After: Reduced to 4 conflict points with separated lanes 👉 Accidents drop, for example, from 20/year → 12/year (40% reduction) 🏙️ 7. SUSTAINABLE URBAN GROWTH •Supports compact city development:People live closer to transit •Reduces car dependency: More people choose buses •Better land use. 📊 Example: •Before: 70% of people rely on cars •After: Public transport share increases to 50% 👌 Less need for parking and wide roads → land can be used for housing, shops, and public spaces 👉 🏙️ Build smarter cities 📈 8. ECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITY •Less time in traffic •More time for work & life •Better access to jobs & services 📊 Example: •Before: 10,000 commuters lose 30 minutes/day in traffic Total lost time = 5,000 hours/day •After: Time lost reduced to 15 minutes/day Total lost time = 2,500 hours/day 👌 2,500 hours saved daily → more time for work and economic activity 👉 📈 Boost city efficiency ⚖️ 9. SOCIAL EQUITY •Provides faster, affordable mobility for all income groups. •Especially benefits those who rely on public transport daily. •Promotes inclusive urban development. 📊 Example: •Before: Low-income workers spend 90 minutes commuting •After: Travel time reduced to 60 minutes 👌 30 minutes saved daily, improving access to jobs and quality of life 👌 Affordable bus fares benefit 100% of users, not just car owners 👉 ⚖️ A system that works for everyone. 👏 Dedicated bus lanes: A simple solution with powerful impact.

This Sunday morning, I ran an easy 8K on the unopened Ragigudda flyover in Jayanagar. Ironically, the only good to come out of BMRCL and BBMP’s delay is that this half-complete flyover has become a popular running, cycling, and skating track. Every morning, you’ll find hundreds of kids skating, people practising yoga, and walkers enjoying traffic-free peace. It’s a powerful reminder that citizens will embrace public spaces if they’re made available for active mobility - and if cars are kept out. Across the world, successful cities prioritise people over motor vehicles. Bengaluru, with its year-round mild climate, is uniquely positioned to do this. It may be the only Indian city where walking and cycling can thrive naturally. Instead of wasting resources on more flyovers and tunnel roads, the state government must invest in public transport and reclaim urban spaces for people. A less polluted, more liveable, and happier Bengaluru is not just possible - it’s waiting. Siddaramaiah DK Shivakumar

It’s a powerful reminder that citizens will embrace public spaces if they’re made available for active mobility - and if cars are kept out. Across the world, successful cities prioritise people over motor vehicles. Bengaluru, with its year-round mild climate, is uniquely positioned to do this. It may be the only Indian city where walking and cycling can thrive naturally. Instead of wasting resources on more flyovers and tunnel roads, the state government must invest in public transport and reclaim urban spaces for people. A less polluted, more liveable, and happier Bengaluru is not just possible - it’s waiting. Siddaramaiah DK Shivakumar

This was the massive rush witnessed at Nandi Hills, Bengaluru, on Sunday. A traffic jam stretching nearly 8 km was reported on the route, with thousands of visitors heading to the popular weekend destination. Vehicles were seen crawling for hours as the heavy influx of tourists led to severe congestion. This is what real traffic looks like long queues of vehicles, packed roads, and significant delays. The overwhelming crowd highlights the growing popularity of Nandi Hills as a weekend getaway, but it also raises concerns about traffic management and infrastructure during peak tourist days. Visitors planning a trip should be prepared for long waiting times, especially on weekends and holidays. #bangalore #bengaluru #nandihills ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

The Ojota–Opebi Link Bridge is designed to ease movement across one of Lagos’ busiest corridors. For years, areas like Ojota, Maryland, Opebi and Allen have struggled with heavy traffic, largely because there was no direct connection between them. Stretching about 5.04 km, this project combines elevated bridge sections with connecting roads to create a more direct route for commuters. It also includes space for pedestrians and cyclists. This project was first conceived during HE President Bola Tinubu’s time as governor and was later revived and completed by our administration. In many ways, it reflects long-term planning finally coming to life. The real impact will be felt in daily commuting. Shorter travel times, less congestion on roads like Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, and more predictable journeys for both individuals and businesses.

🚌 “Why don’t all IT employees use public transport?” Sounds like a simple question — but the answer is anything but simple. Here’s the reality: 🚏 No covered bus stops in key areas – waiting in harsh sun or heavy rain is not practical. 🚶‍♂️ After getting off the bus, there are no proper footpaths – you walk through mud, garbage, or broken roads. 🚦 No safe pedestrian crossings – crossing a road is a daily life risk. 🏘️ Most residential complexes are far inside from main roads – walking long, unsafe distances just to reach the bus stop isn’t feasible. 👨‍👩‍👧 Many employees have to drop kids to school or pick up/drop spouses at other office locations – multi-stop travel just doesn’t work with public transport. ⏱️ Irregular shifts and late-night work also make buses an unsafe or unreliable option. 🧠 So next time someone says “IT people drive alone and cause traffic” — tell them: we’ll happily use public transport if the system is ready for real-life needs. #LastMileMatters #EmployeesVoice #StrongerTogether #ITParkReality #Hinjawadi #FixTheBasicsFirst #LastMileProject #Metro #Footpaths #PuneInfra Link to Insta post - CMO Maharashtra PMRDA Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd collectorpuneofficial पिंपरी चिंचवड महानगरपालिका Official PMC Care Hinjawadi Industries Association Amit Paranjape Dr. Sudhir Mehta Pune Metro Rail

They really want y’all to believe this is just about “traffic” 🤔 Bike lanes everywhere. Bus lanes everywhere. Streets turning into outdoor lounges. Pay just to ENTER Manhattan. Now they talking about charging you to park near your own home… And if that’s not enough? Lower speed limits. Cameras everywhere 24/7. More rules for drivers… Less enforcement for bikes… But yeah… nothing to see here, right? 😭 Then they hit you with the “environment” angle… “Less cars = less pollution” Cool. But at what cost? Because when you make driving: More expensive… More stressful… More restricted… Of course people gonna stop driving. That’s not a coincidence. That’s strategy. More tolls. More cameras. Lower speeds. Less space for cars. And next up… more meters. Call it whatever you want… But don’t act like this isn’t a car phase-out in real time. Pay attention. Agree or I’m bugging? 👇 Follow me—because I’m breaking all of this down piece by piece. #nyc #mta #fyp #ny

One of the why questions we’re always asking is how can we help operations employees access inventory more efficiently? We’re taking a big leap forward by introducing DeepFleet, an exciting new AI model that makes our one million+ robot fleet work smarter. Think of DeepFleet as an intelligent traffic management system for our fulfillment centers. Just like smart traffic systems reduce congestion in cities, DeepFleet coordinates our robots’ movements to find optimal paths and reduce bottlenecks. By leveraging our deep expertise in robotics and combining it with AWS tools like SageMaker, we’ve built an AI model that learns from our extensive data on inventory movement to make real-time decisions that improve robot travel time by 10% (which at our scale is pretty significant). What makes this particularly exciting is how AI and robotics create value across the board. For customers, it means faster delivery times and lower costs. For employees, it opens up new opportunities – our robots handle physically demanding tasks and heavy lifting, making our fulfillment centers safer, while our people take on more technical roles. This combination of robotics and generative AI is just getting started, and am looking forward to what we’ll invent next.

This morning, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and First Lady Zinash Tayachew, together with senior government officials, reviewed the newly completed CMC–Goro–VIP Corridor—a transformative project connecting the Addis International Convention Center to the Bole Airport VIP terminal. This newly developed two-way road network integrates with the Bole Airport connection road at CMC, creating a seamless link across a key section of the city. Spanning more than 290 hectares, the corridor extends for 12.74 km and 15.27 km of dedicated bike lanes. With five modern bus and taxi terminals capable, four large parking facilities and 17 designated loading and unloading bays, the project is easing congestion and improving transport efficiency. It also features underground electric and telecom lines, stormwater drainage pipes and new streetlights, ensuring modern infrastructure throughout. The corridor is not only about roads but also about liveability. More than 130 hectares of riverside areas have been developed into vibrant green spaces, complemented by various facilities. Over 320 buildings have been renovated, helping to uplift the entire area. The results are already visible. More than 350 new commercial shops have opened, business activity has surged, traffic congestion has eased, and public transport services have improved. The green spaces and riverside developments are creating a more pleasant and liveable environment for residents and visitors alike. #PMOEthiopia

118 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone? Not on our watch. The ‘Super Speeder’ law is in full effect. Drive 100mph or 50mph over the limit? Expect a hefty ticket and even a stay in the Duval County jail. Yep, that fast is considered criminal. We get it, you have somewhere you want to be. Speeding might get you there faster, but it could also put you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road in danger. We’ve lost 65 people in traffic fatalities this year, 17 more than this time last year. We are not messing around when it comes to safety on our roads. Speed, and be prepared to face the consequences. Drive safe, Duval.

🚨NYC Shutting Down Another Traffic Lane – Causing More Gridlock and Making You Pay for It !! 🚨 I’ve been investigating the streets of New York City for a long time. As a NYC driver, I see firsthand how congestion and traffic aren’t just happening by accident—they’re being created by the city’s own bad street designs. And now, they expect us to pay for it with congestion pricing, draining the wallets of middle- and lower-class New Yorkers. Last month alone, the city made over $50 million from congestion pricing—money taken straight from the pockets of hardworking New Yorkers who have no choice but to drive. And instead of fixing the streets, they’re making things even worse. Now, the city is rolling out a new street design that will shut down another traffic lane on Sixth Avenue to make way for a double-wide bike lane. This means fewer lanes for cars, leading to even more gridlock in one of the busiest parts of Manhattan. Sixth Avenue is already packed with delivery trucks, taxis, rideshares, buses, and regular commuters—now the city is making it worse by cutting down road space even further. What do they think is going to happen when they remove a lane of traffic from one of the most congested streets in Midtown? Traffic will back up even more, drivers will be forced to sit in gridlock for longer periods, and emergency vehicles will struggle to get through. This isn't about making the streets better—this is about making it impossible to drive in NYC, forcing people to give up their cars and rely on an already broken public transit system. Meanwhile, bike lanes keep getting expanded while the city ignores the real traffic problems. The reality is, bike lanes aren’t being used nearly as much as the city wants you to believe. Most of the time, they sit empty, while cars and buses are crammed into fewer and fewer lanes. This isn’t about safety—it’s about forcing an anti-car agenda on the people who actually need to drive. And what’s their solution? They want to force you onto the subway—a transit system that’s more dangerous than ever. Over the past few months, we’ve all seen the rise in subway violence—stabbings, robberies, and assaults happening daily. The same politicians who created this mess, like Governor Hochul and the MTA, expect us to just accept it. Instead of making the trains safer, they’re making driving impossible. And let’s talk about the MTA—New York’s never-ending money pit. Billions of dollars pour into the system every year, and yet we never see any real improvements. Trains still break down, stations are filthy, service is unreliable, and crime is out of control. The MTA always claims they need more funding, yet no one ever asks where all the money is actually going. Meanwhile, the people who rely on the subway are stuck dealing with fare hikes, delays, and dangerous conditions. But the damage doesn’t stop there. I’ve been speaking with business owners throughout New York City, and they all tell me the same thing—sales are down since congestion pricing rolled out. With fewer people driving into the city, foot traffic has dropped, and small businesses are suffering. Shops, restaurants, and other local businesses that rely on a steady flow of customers are now seeing empty stores and struggling to stay afloat. Business owners have told me the city just isn’t the same anymore. This isn’t about reducing congestion—it’s about punishing drivers, killing small businesses, and squeezing more money out of the people who can least afford it. New York City is no longer a place for the working class. The politicians and bureaucrats behind this mess don’t care—because they’re not the ones stuck in traffic, struggling to run a business, or riding the subways in fear. We are.
