srinidhi - 17-APR-2014

This may not sound convincing at first go, but I think bare truth.

Easing BTM - SILKBOARD bottle neck !

kbsyed61 - 10-AUG-2012

Dear All,
ELCIA have been successful in getting improvements on Silk Board to E-city and beyond with elevated road and flyovers on ORR. Today the real bottle neck is BTM, silk board and Madiwala. This requires out of the box solution acceptable to all stake holders. They have requested associations of ORR, ITPL and WHEELS.,

Why regular traffic on BTM Roads?

shashi kumar y - 3-FEB-2011

Many people who use the BTM stretch of the Outer RING RD face daily traffic jam for about one hour or so. The place am taking is between UDUPI GARDEN to SILK Board signal. The same in reverse direction. But the trouble is more in former.

Public have various versions for the traffic jam between these two points. The various reasons may be:

Adyar Ananda Bhavan, BTM layout - giving one example

acoward - 7-NOV-2010

You people are discussing bye-laws and corruption. Now I will give you an example of how one mid-size business plays on these two subjects and we people do not see anything. I can see, but can not do anything about it.

Heavy sound pollution in BTM 2nd Stage, NS Palya rd, behind Coffee Day

simplerosy - 22-OCT-2010

There is a huge construction going on near Raj Lake View apprtments. It is starting from 6:00am upto 9:30pm-10:00pm. People can't take rest even on weekends because of heavy sound polution. All elders, housewives and small kids are suffering a lot due to this sound pollution. I don't have any contact who can help us in this regards.

Upcoming flyover on ORR at BTM - short sighted?

silkboard - 7-JUL-2008

Its flyover time again. BBMP has invited bids for "Consultancy Services For Preparation Of DPR For The Construction Of Grade Separator At The Junction Of Ring Road And 16th Main BTM Layout". (Also see:RFP for this flyover). So once this is done, those heading towards Electronics City, instead of waiting at 16th main signal, they will all wait longer at the silk board signal. And in the evenings, the signal under Jaideva circle flyover will see twice or thrice the amount of waiting traffic it currently does.

Why I gave up on BMTC

namma_nadu - 9-JUN-2008

[Kind of mirrors what so many members here think of BMTC - routing not right, slow, last mile hassle etc etc - here is a real user experience {blr_editor}]

Last week i resolved to try BMTC to commute to office - from BTM to CBD - Ulsoor Road ( or Halsooru Road). I had written earlier to Mr. Sheriff and Tripathy earlier on the pathetic treatment meted out to BTM residents - to no avail. There is not a single bus that runs from BTM to MG Road directly - convenient to travellers.

First - we have 201 and its variants - which are crowded by the time they reach BTM. Requests for a BTM - Domlur variant have been denied till date. Requests for a 'seating only' premium variant have been declined.

Exploring ideas about a radial corridor from BTM layout to points further south. This corridor will act as an alternative to Bannerghatta and Hosur Roads.
