'Worst condition': At 3.30 am, it takes commuter 2 hours to travel 6 km on Bengaluru roads

A Reddit post from a Bengaluru commuter has raised fresh alarms over the city’s worsening infrastructure.

Shared on r/bangalore, the post titled "Blr Infra is collapsing," highlights the severe traffic and road conditions that citizens are dealing with, even during off-peak hours.

The user, who has lived in Bengaluru for the past decade, described that their journey from Indiranagar to Manyata Tech Park took nearly two hours. The catch? The travel wasn't during office hours, but during the night at 3:30 AM.

"I've been in Bangalore for the last 10 years, and it's in the worst condition I've seen," the commuter wrote while narrating the scene online.

Notably, the driving distance between the two locations is about six kilometres.

The post also called out the local authorities, urging action to address the city's crumbling infrastructure. "If there is anybody who can hold these politicians and BBMP accountable, highly recommend doing it right away," it read.

As traffic and safety concerns continue to mount, residents are voicing growing frustration across social media platforms.
