A comparison of 8 year back situation to current one to gauge change. • 8 years before we could reach electronic city from any part of BTM/JP Nagar in 1015 minutes. Now it takes minimum 1 hour
A comparison of 8 year back situation to current one to gauge change. • 8 years before an ambulance could reach St.Johns Hospital from JP Nagar in less than 5 minutes and now it is minimum 30 minutes.
Why we have such a huge change ?? • IT revolution combined with Off shoring, with no administrative planning in terms of Infrastructure or traffic ( They did have vision of extending city around electronic city and ITPL)
Why we have such a huge change ??(Contd..) • Unlike Few Central Government companies or Reliance for certain extent, IT companies have difficulties in planning for housing colonies convenient to their work place.
Why we have such a huge change ??(Contd..) 90% of people have their home in 10 –25 km distance from their work place. In 90% of the cases , IT employees can not commute comfortably between home and office by a single bus.
Why we have such a huge change ??(Contd..) Since Public Transport administration could not assess new requirements due to IT revolution, People had no choice but to buy & use private vehicles. Huge increase on private vehicles especially cars contributed heavily to traffic woes.
Current Efforts : Benefits & short comings. Fly over : This created good impact in many places. But at the same time in good number of cases, it just shifted the problem to next junction.
Current Efforts : Benefits & short comings ( Contd..) Metro rail : Bangaloreans dream this could be a solution to all of their traffic issues. Looking at the current plan how many people can travel home to office only depending on metro rail ??. This again force 99% IT guys to travel on personal vehicles.
Current Efforts : Benefits & short comings( Contd..). IT Company Bus transportation : IT company buses are scheduled to their office timings ( e.g 8.30 am – 5.30 pm ). But most of the employees ( 75%+ ) follow different timings ( e.g 10 am-7pm ). There are few cases where in only 15 people uses a 50 seat company bus.

Related facts : Banglore’s spending on vehicle fuel ( Contd..) • A car user spends around Rs.3500/month.Monthly spending of 60000 people is around Rs. 210,000,000. • A bike user spends around Rs.1000/month. Monthly spending of 340000 people is around Rs. 340,000,000.
Related facts : Banglore’s spending on vehicle fuel ( Contd.. ) • Total IT employee spending in Bangalore only for 1 month becomes Rs. 210,000,000 + Rs. 340,000,000 = Rs. 550,000,000. • Yearly spending would be Rs.6,600,000,000 • Don’t you think this is a huge spending ???. • If we can avoid this situation, wouldn’t it be huge saving for Personal wealth / Nation’s wealth and ultimately for fuel resources for future generation???
Related facts : Non-monitory disadvantage of using private vehicles. • Increase density of traffic. • Pollutes air and in turn it affect individual health. • It damages atmosphere and results in issues like Global warming.

Future generation will blame us for un-ethical exploitation of existing fuel. • When you are in traffic, you are experiencing lot of stress without your conscious and it damages heavily mental & physical health ( back pain has direct relation to mental stress. )
Related facts : How our Off shoring competitor on this • Chinese cities are comparable to European or American cities • In Chinese cities private vehicles are highly taxed and only few very rich people can use personal vehicle in the city. • They have peaceful travel due to highly efficient public transport.
