Bengaluru Traffic Congestion to End Soon: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the underground tunnels on a pilot basis will be constructed at the infamous Hebbal junction where there is high traffic congestion.
In 2022, the travel time within the city was nearly 30 minutes for a 10km drive. However, there has been an improvement, and the time has now been reduced to 28 minutes for the same distance.
BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, who was present at the inauguration ceremony, said that the new metro line is a reminder that public transport is the answer to traffic congestion.
Long rows of cars, pacing one inch every minute, and pizzas to kill time - this was the scene in Bengaluru last night as the city faced unprecedented traffic jams hours after a near citywide shutdown due to a strike.
