Heading to Bengaluru's Hebbal flyover on a Monday morning? Don't!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- The Hebbal flyover in Bengaluru, which connects the airport with the rest of the city, is one of the most congested points.
The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) resumed work on constructing additional lanes on the flyover from Esteem Mall to Baptist Hospital a little over a year ago. The congestion on the road has progressively worsened, and even localities in and around Hebbal flyover have been impacted. After dismantling two lanes in April, meant for vehicles coming from K.R. Puram to get on the flyover, traffic movement has become even more difficult. The vehicle load from the dismantled ramp now falls on the service road and the service loop.
The Hindu team commuted from Esteem Mall to Hebbal Police Station on a two-wheeler to assess the time it takes to cross the flyover between 11.10 a.m. and 11.40 a.m. It took around 13 minutes to commute a mere 900 metres and climb the ramp of the flyover. The time taken to reach Hebbal Police Station, covering a total distance of four kilometres, was 27 minutes.

Real estate mafia and politicians are main reason. No roads but more apartments, commerical establishment s in all empty sites.
Exactly.. They just want to extract money from more people moving in
Lakhs of employees are wasting hours every day in traffic. Those roles which can be Work-from-home should be allowed to continue, and for other hybrid roles should come to office only when required. Its sad that corporate company's management is turning blind eye to this big problem.
Lots of will go back to tier 2 city, Then the metro business man , wealth class will lose money. Government doesn't like that😢
WFH is a good option , no waste of time in traffic also if people move to tier 2 cities some of the things will improve there too
If wfh employees go back to their cities. How will local transport and real estate mafia get the money to fund political parties?
Government dont like wfh.. They are forcing companies to ask employees to come to office
We know everything yet we can't do anything about it, because we vote for others and believe they will do it for us in a world where we can't trust our siblings
The issue mainly is , govt should support companies to start the company in non metro cities, once the jobs gets outside the metro cities population will decrease.
More companies moving out to Hyderabad... Much better infra.
@@SushmaVivek-xq4nv you people are barking this since decades 😂
That kind of commonsense is overlooked these days, because companies look at maximising profits for rapid growth by concentrating at a single point facility. And companies bring in fund and authority to demand from the government, and the government will become helpless because if they refuse, the companies will go to other place where the government will oblige. It is corporate goondaism basically. Understanding these powerplay basics is essential. Now why people are forced to travel from on end of the city to another is because the housing prices are higher at certain regions around these companies or they own/inherit house and then they get a job at a certain company which is far located. These are the situations why people have to travel far and wide everyday, it is not sustainable in the long run.
@@SushmaVivek-xq4nvsame things will happen in Hyderabad as well.
@@senthilkumaran0072 Govt is already doing that, many states provide huge incentive for it like Land, tax waiver, cheap electricity etc. but IT Business establishes where there is big tallent pool and talent pool go where there are lots of IT business. It's a positive feedback loop, which causes the IT centers to grow. Bangalore or Hyderabad is just a medium.
That's why other IT Hubs grow slower.
U know, I used to travel this route for almost 6 years between 2004 to 2010, to my college near the airforce station, the entire journey time during the day and the evening did not cross 30 mins. Now jus crossing this bridge take 30 mins. Nice progress Bengaluru.
SirMVIT?
@@sudhanvarao1 Yups.. on bike it would hardly take me 20 mins at like normal speed .
It's a flyover, Not a bridge. A bridge is a structure that is always built over a water resource and is supported by beams. There is a lake here but besides it so still a flyover. I don't know why people in Bangalore always keep referring to a flyover as a bridge always. The only bridge we have is the KR puram bridge in the city 😂😂😂
@@k-map224 Wokays bro..
This india expect delay
Forget about it, India is clueless about world class infrastructure, efficiency, punctuality & high quality standards
Intentionally overcrowding the same cities for real estate gains to launder "their" balck money, and acts like why traffic has increased?
Great reporting on the Daily lives/Problems of People. Keep up the good work!
Over urbanization . Over Population.Over Migration. Restrict number of entries. Internal visa( e pass) might be needed to protect congested City
bad city planning.
Are you serious? Within India , internal visa?
@@gurubunny2000we know how life in congested City. Our honourable Government of India need to take necessary action to prevent congestion in cities.
You havent met famous BMC of Mumbai. They take 6 years to make a bridge twice that is not fully complete and because of which traffic to cross 1 km takes 1 hour.
Peak hour traffic is not how a road is designed to cater, if they have to construct a roadway in such a way then a substantial parcel of land will be all roads. The thing is that working timings are the same (due to daylight hours) so people tend to start and end their day at similar time, so they need to move around the same time.
i take less than 20 seconds. i wake up early and leave at 6 am.
Great But not everyone will go early to the office..
Boss you can't fun statements just like that.🤣🤣People are lazy and love drama. There is nothing bigger than drama, laziness & complaining these days. It is trending since kaliyug began and will continue to do so. Dovebaddimaklu
People of other states never question for development & jobs in their home state, they only demand for a train to Karnataka. No state/city can survive this kind of huge in-migration.
Who gives permission to build apartments, IT parks, malls, layouts, commercial establishments to allow this? Answer is state government, real estate mafia gangs, bda and bbmp.
Citizens need to question them rather than migration. When u give conditions for irrational influx of people its the body which gives permission for this influx the problem not the people.
@@vinayyadatinagaraj2509 exactly... Less IT Park.. Less people will move in.. Whether from North, South, East or West
I was wonder why no one blamed it on people' from other states.
Thank you for maintaining the age-old tradition.
@VyomKinght hahaha I am one among the migrants sir. But I have learnt the language of the land and I am one among the society, unlike others who never adjusted with the society and never became one among the people.
And yes I was not born in Karnataka nor I studied here nor my mother tongue is Kannada.
@@chaitanyap7502 good for you. Now learn Konkani, Kodava and Tulu too. They are also language of land. Why discriminate.
It is a literal hellhole. The gloomy weather, the attitude of the local people, the traffic, the local language being shoved down people's throats. It is time to bid goodbye to bangalore.
Bye bye..... thank you 👍
Hebbal or Hebbagilu means ENTRANCE in Kannada, if the entrance is jammed you know the city is thriving.
Sakkhath sir neevu🤣🤣🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂
Are you a politician? You make a negative situation sound like a positive one for a few seconds
Yavan guru neeno
City na deng hakidare
Thriving anthe
Thriving? Do you know what that word means ?
If you waste 4 hours a day in traffic , then its 20 hours per week ( assuming 5 day working ). That is 80 hours per month or 960 hours per year. If you get 25 days a year leaves then reduce 100. The final average comes around to 860 HOURS /YEAR OR 35 DAYS PER YEAR .
The problem is everything coming to Tier 1 cities and people of other places throng there since opportunities are present only in those cities. Bring opportunities to every city possible and in no time balance is restored.
It's not because of that, Bengaluru doesn't have the right roadways that needs to be there for a big city.
I go to Manyata tech park for work and I take Outer Ring Road, passing through the Hebbal flyover to Manyata is the hardest part of my day. Metro work, bus stop on service road where 10-12 buses block the road regularly. Roads are filled with holes, the flyover is demolished, the traffic is too much. The roads are full of holes and unevenly patched in Outer Ring Road which leads to skidding. I can understand construction work and traffic but in a metropolitan city like Bengaluru having these type of not maintained roads is shameful to authorities and the local elected members. Shame on them, useless fellows.
It is just incompetent adminstration. First of all traffic needs to be studied and scientifically controlled. This is what happens if you leave it to police or traffic police. Not to mention this is not the job for which police force should be deployed. Police is for policing, not traffic control. Even a kid with common sense and a map will be able to design better traffic control.
building flyovers over flyovers or metros dont help road traffic issues at all. The city is too crowded and IT companies should be moved to Tier 2 cities where they can grow and provide jobs. this is better solution.
True
They should move to mangalore the allocate location for IT hub is still vacant.
Tokyo , Shanghai, Manila and Osaka are bigger than Bangalore in terms of population. Why they are better? Issue is government incompetence.
Average IQ is much higher there. @@bbyjazzjane
@@bbyjazzjane corruption and land Mafia leaders in government.
Bengaluru used to be true city of parks and gardens. Now it is a city if u turns. You have one u turn every 50 metres. Remove these unauthorised u turns and have one at a major intersection. 2) let people know that road rules is same for all whether it is someone driving a 2 wheeler or someone driving a fortuner. 3) Encourage public transport usage. There is nothing shameful in taking a bus when you have a BMW X1 at home.
if anyone has to be blamed, its the authorities and the politicians. They just don't care, no matter what international reports say, no matter if the citizens complain. There are so many cities in China with much more population than Bangalore but there is no traffic problem and also public transport is smooth. Our politicians and authorities have no intent. We have no option, but to post these videos which will have no impact on the politicians.
I have been in Bangalore from 2009 to 2020. Every year you can witness empty plots and fields becoming apartments and commercial buildings. India's wealthy buy these properties and the working class is incentivised by bank loans to invest and rent it out. Each year more and more people roam the streets with cars and two wheelers, with some days traffic becoming like a zombie apocalypse. Many times I have called traffic police to attend junctions where idiotic people dont follow basic traffic rules and create major blocks. Ever since the IT boom, town planning authorities and politicians should have made sustainable rules for development of housing, instead of teaming up with land mafia/lobbies for mutual benefit. If this city was developed with proper planning, primarily with adequate living space between buildings and number of residents per building, it could have spread out the development with sustainable ground water and adequate infrastructure to support it. Instead you can see some buildings are soo close to each other you can carry a plank or ladder and travel through rooftops, such is the rampant, unhygienic and corrupted development that has taken place. Truly a beautiful city with amazing climate, but now one of the most polluted places in India.
Expected when it's norm in every student in north state to do engineering and pack bag to bangalore.. there is simply no space... u can't have millions dropping every year
That, plus everyone from KA villages coming to Bengaluru. Same for MH. We may blame outsiders, but the internal migration is also too much. We should develop tier 2 cities and give WFH as much as possible.
Not only north. Bangalore has bigger immigration from Andhra , Tamilnadu , Kerala and even other cities in Karnataka compare to so called north
@@bbyjazzjaneby numbers they r not much.. probably 10% .. hyd and Chennai have superb IT parks... they look much better and bigger than one here in bangalore..
Watching this stuck in hebbal traffic
if all IT companies made work from home mandatory .it will solve all the problems traffic+ reservation + rent issue + language issue everything for bengaluru
Chennai OMR condition is worse.. Stranded in traffic for hours in hot and humid condition..
You have rightly blurred the face of a lady but have been conveniently ignoring the identity of the couple of gentlemen in the video. Why this hypocrisy!!!
Maybe she requested for privacy? And the gentlemen might not have requested for it.
I quit Bengaluru in 2015 after my architecture internship of 6months. Peace.
I used to travel to manyata for work from tumkur road and did it for 8 years from 2011 to 2019 i dont remember a single day where i have taken more than 2 mins to cross hebbal … i mostly covered a distance of 18kms in no more than 20-30 mins , and now hebbal junction alone i spent 20 mins
10 years back there was a proposal for steel flyover, which was opposed by many environmentalists, who am sure are responsible for this situation.
IT Companies need to be given space in Tier 2 cities like Tumkur, Shimoga, Davanagere, Bellary, etc.
People and the government have to understand this. No matter how many flyovers or wider roads you make, the traffic and the congestion will never decrease. The main reason of traffic is the number of vehicles on roads, which keeps on increasing year by year.
The first solution here is to reduce the number of vehicles by improving public transport availability and encouraging shared transport such as carpooling.
Same situation while driving towards Marathahalli, Bellandur etc via outer ring road easily takes 1.5 hours
This level of traffic impacts on mental health.
30 mins, a world record 🎉
Wow that’s FAST.
please make 100% quota for locals
How does patients and ambulances cope with this???
They have no dedicated roads/flyovers/bridges. How do you expect it to be?
Journey to heaven is quicker
I travel to my office from Haralur to Manyata. It takes me almost an hour to cross Haralur, Bellandur if I start at 8.10am in the morning. Conjusted roads in Haralur, jammed roads on sarjapur signal and bellandur are one of the pain points for many people like me
They should demolished this and rebuild circle flyover when work started in airport they are always ten years behind
Bangalore Traffic is a Nightmare 😢😢!!
Painful!!
And i stay close to Hebbal...fact of the matter is that we can't go anywhere in Bangalore....huge population of both ppl & vehicles... the city just cannot sustain this load... you can build any number of flyovers or underpasses, nothing going to change
Plan a video for panathur underpass
It's not just the volume of traffic but extreme incivility of the drivers here that causes the major choke ups.
*love from hebbal🔥*
Jay walkers have to be fined.
Minimum braking distance and lane decipline has to be maintained to reduce traffic slowdown.
It's not entirely infrastructure fault, part of the problem is commuters decipline and lane planning.
Many thanks to TR Jhanavi for updating traffic issues on this particular area… would love to see more information/updates in future…
Bottom line is : Lack of traffic awareness in Bangalore, apart from poor infrastructure, traffic management control is very weak .. Although Bangalore Police are doing their job to its best at the same time Traffic Police should start short term actions like :
Traffic Safety week;
Traffic Awareness Week;
Traffic control Week etc
Once again many thanks 🙏 to TR Jhanavi … good work, stay safe, healthy and blessed
Actually Bangalore needs 3tier ROADS to accommodate traffics on road
1. Top most must be for non stopping far destination vehicles
2. 2nd underneath top most must have vehicles passing destination to Airports to stations and at least 10 to 15 kilometer destination
3. 3rd tier below 2nd with all busses and heavy vehicles
4. Ground for all Rickshaw, unloading vehicles, and 2 wheelers or vehicles certified for specially registered physically handicapped people, Fire and Safety vehicles with all police and any forces vehicles.
Likewise this would surely reduces the time and congestion on roads.
All Bridges must be PREFABTICATED TYPES WHERE AT SITE ONLY NEEDS INSTALLATION NO OTHER CONSTRUCTION OR CIVIL WORK WOULD BE DONE OR NEEDED
Only Digging be done to let pillars be inserted and fastened in Ground.
All side Service roads be constructed of Iron frames directly be installed and fastened and partial civil works where needed or possibly needed.
Likewise if construction be carried out to less time frame.
Doesn't matter if BJP or Congress comes to power, the common man will always suffer
Just watch how common man despite whoever has power, continues to suffer with bank loans, while politicians and those around them upgrade from 1bhk house to mansions and maruti car to Lexus SUVs with additional properties like farm houses, commerical buildings, etc.
Yes I experienced it.. request our honorable CM to ride car or bike to experience this .
honorable or horrible? was that a typo error?
Studies hard, went abroad 9 years ago, now a happy citizen abroad, enjoying peaceful environment here and this video and comments - ab bolo mera bharat mahaan 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Population already in Bangalore is above the bottle neck. It's is our mistakes why all of them assembled in the State. What about other States? Why ?
In pune it sometimes take 2:30 hrs to cross 1.5 km😅😅
Yes this absolutely 100% correct heavy heavy heavy heavy traffic in hebbal flyover
Adding more lines to the existing road will makes traffic worse. Adding more roads parallel to the existing road will solve the traffic problem
The public transport facility has to improve drastically. its an herculean task to board a BMTC and get a seat. Our purple and Green metro lines are choking and its a suffocating experience travel in metro in peak hours.
No one wants to use their own vehicle if they can reach from point A to B at a cheaper price and assured of comfort.
instead of building more roads for more cars, try to build a good , affordable and comfortable public transports
Government knows well that if employees wfh, their tax collection will be reduced. They turn a blind eye to this
Major reason the road is like a tier 2 city standard width. Oh wait even tier 2s have wider roads.
Make it up to Delhi standards to see improvement
This is the main reason i left bangalore and moved to chennaiv😊
See good weather also there in Hyderabad.... That's the reason so many IT and Pharma companies in Hyderabad... Any many other sectors in Hyderabad... May be Bangalore is 2 to 3 degrees cooler in summer... Hyderabad KCR built huge water projects... So water and current problem is not there... Less traffic jams... Multiple public transportation facilities... We being telugus speak Hindi most of the time... 60% of the population is urban... Huge land bank of government😂😂😂 available
Lack of public transport.... Not enough Metro or Suburban Railway.... not even enough bus service
Heebal fly over is one of the oldest.. And it was constructed small bridge... When new BIAL started in 2008...they should have done reconstruction of big flyover... Government was sleeping.. Now they have come up with new plan disaster....still after completing of new bridge.. Traffic will remain same..
The never ending metro work is the main issue in Bangalore. 🙌🙌
I.T. ppl have ruined the cities, same is the case here in Pune
Thanks for the pov. I was wondering if it was the case with bangalore only or if it’s getting bad everywhere.
Its not IT people. Its the policies that restrict employees to come to office. If WFH is provided adequately this problem wouldn't have come at all.
Corporate greed and political ,real estate mafia nexus has destroyed Bangalore . I am from Bangalore.
Its time to stop investing more in Bangalore and choose other 2 tier cities in Karnataka
Stop the inflow of people first. Divert the business and companies to tier 2 cities.
How about ST Johns Hospital Signal. Would be a greate content to shoot ! Even the hoardings say "Stuck in ST JOhsn Traffic, Try our new Sleepwell Matteress"
So many lanes and flyovers and still problem is not solved means its clear that more flyovers won't solve anything
Traffic jams construct bridges to travel soon.
Flyover work is been done by local contractor who do not follow safety norms .it's dangerous for both commuters and the labourers working on the flyover.plz show that also
This is not what u have show
Because all the software companies are in the same location....beetter move companies to the north sode of bangalor so that traffic wll be reduced
Please do visit Kadubishnahali to Varthur road. At least 1lakh people staying in that area but not road or no infrastructure. You can check news related to s-cross and T-junction in Varthur. So please do coverage there as well
I think the best solution is make thay hennur air port road like and airport express way and have an alternate road
Horrendous traffic, real estate hyperinflation, deforestation, threatening people to speak in Kannada, freebies etc etc can’t keep people away from flocking to Bengaluru. I guess micro breweries and restaurants aping the west is good enough for millions of people.
30-40% time reduced after diverting the roads now
Population is the main reason for India’s present condition
Bro it's lack of public transport. Everyone using cars and two wheelers
Bangalore is over flooded with educated immigrants from north ..n tragfic is completely a chaos n mis managed ...its high time the Karnataka government should really start thinking like western countries n stop certain influx of people
Govt. should legalise mini cars. Like city ATV models with a four wheeler facilities.
Roads narrowing on the flyover and Traffic police stopping the vehicles with no sense of time are the main reason for this blunder.
Traffic police on the flyover managing the traffic, stop the flow of vehicles on a particular lane un-scientifically for 10-15mins because of which huge line of vehicles get stacked up on each lane and in turn slowdown the movement and creates congestion.
A simple solution to this problem would be the use of traffic signals on the flyover instead of the policemen managing it manually
If the north indians and others who have come here in the name of development rather than developing their own place if they are sent home then no traffic....
Right... So all overpriced IT Park will have no employee to work.
As usual typical kannadiga behaviour 🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂👏👏🖐️🖐️🖐️
@@SushmaVivek-xq4nv don't worry we kannadigas goona do it
3 lanes from each direction only to merge to a 3 lane road. God. This is the worst place when coming from any to the airport...
Blue line metro comes also traffic will still be there that's an 60km travel from silk board to airport most if them prefer own vehicle to travel towards airport can't take more luggage city can handle traffic but suburbs becoming a nightmare for traffic high congestion these IT companies are calling the employees to office weekly 3 days, some company 5 days a week
We ahould have reservations for Hebbal ppl in Hebbal jobs
😂 if u start a day with traffic pressure very good to work 😂
More lanes is always a bad idea. Ban all pvt vehicles which will solve all problems
Is there anyone getting paid for this urban planning by any chance?
NOt only Hebbal , All Bangalore having this issue , This City only Many people Traveling at a same time, So
No amount of flyovers will be enough as more & more people migrate to cities. This situation is the same in all metro cities irrespective of timings and it is only relatively better or worse off. Levy a hefty vehicle ownership/toll tax on single people travelling by car (except taxis). Also, like Singapore vehicle licences restricted quota each year should be auctioned and only the highest bidder will get it. Unfortunately no politician or administrator will take any initiative to decongest Bengaluru as their only aim is to multiply their wealth. So it is incumbent on the citizens and companies to find a solution to this never ending situation. People should ideally stop buying real estate for residing except for investment/rental purposes and locate themselves closer to their work places.
Days were good when we didn't have this flyover l. The flyover created a problem which never existed
State govt should introduce flying cars to avoid traffic congestion in our city of silicon Valley banglore.
The title of your video is wrong... it must read- Flyover works in fast progress avoid Hebbal flyover...your perspective is totally wrong.....
The muslim newspaper,
Try carmelram railwaystation to hebbal.
The city planning is a joke. Why is there only a single road that connects airport the the main city.
May be bcoz of each single people private cars ? 🤔
Actually we can walk at 4 kmph. XDDDD
People need to raise above local politics and need to understand and questions the people responsible for delay in project complition.....
As any part of india this is a need of hour people need to put people responsible in question ❓
Why the electronic city girl face was blurred 😂😂😂
Personal choice. Anyone can demand it, it is called consent. Nobody has the right to shoot photo/video and publish it in public view without their consent.
@@ElectrifiedStud why shoot the video then
The face was blurred because it is shameful to travel from hebbal to electronics City
When the airport was built they should have demolished the old flyover and built a new one knowing bangalore was getting more and more people.but they waited and waited and now they are seeing the issue
It is crawl over... not fly over
Hebbal flyover😅, instead I will stay in my place, rather being stuck there.
This article has no relevance. It states the issue but no resolution. It is a story with no end!
If only when you can show an example where a news/media agency who are good at city/town planning, I will agree to it. They are reporters, not designers/architects or planners.
Actually madam you reached really fast...you are so lucky...this not the actual traffic...you should cross this flyover during morning 10-12 or in evening 6.30-8.30 and during rain it will take 1 to 2 hrs...im travelling daily i stay backside of baptust and work at manipal hospitals...😂😂😅😅
Yeah... Namma bangaluru
