Bangalore ORR Analysis Transportation Traffic
All the IT office goers passing through Bellandur infront of ecospace as well as cab drivers, bmtc bus drivers are all talking about Ecospace. It has become a nightmare for Bangalore Traffic Police.
Various company heads recently met Traffic Police Head, Sri. Saleem.
This is a thread to discuss about how to solve this in a more innovative way.
All the suggestions in citizenmatters facebook etc are all just doing a blame game, with car drivers blaming 2 wheelers and buses, buses blaming on car drivers so on and so forth.
This is the photograph of next junction!

Parking charges should also be started in these tech parks. SEZ should put a policy to allow only 10% of cars of total employee population. I would say even that would be high, 30,000 people sitting - 3,000 cars is too difficult to handle.

Should congestion pricing enforced between Silkboard and Hebbal ?
Here is how it is done in top 5 cities of world:

In Singapore:
There will be lots of opposition for this kind of a system due to powerful users who use cars unlike humble BMTC users who bear all the price hikes.
Thats a good thought to have both LRT & Buses

Buses & LRT together would be a good thought. Dedicated lane is a must irrespective of the mode of transport like the private buses or public buses or LRT. People now need a way out of these jams.
Allow only public vehicles in peak hour

Traffic is increasing each passing day on the stretch of ORR between Silkboard and Marathhalli and it will make matters worse as more and more office space and buildings are being readied. It is painful to see people travelling in Fortunner, Innova, XUV -- with a single occupancy.
I already see it going out-of-control where traffic is fluidic and people drive in all directions throwing each and every rule in the book to the wind.
The only option looks like is to ban all private vehicles and allow only public vehicles (BMTC, private buses), taxis on this stretch (between Silkboard and Hebbal) during peak hours -- 8 to 11AM and 5 to 8PM. Running additional buses on this stretch will also be helpful.

First, out of the 3 lanes in each carriage way on the ORR, physically barricade one lane for a bus+SLR lane. That lane will then move more people faster while people in cars will rot in the other 2 lanes.
Second, double track & add more suburban trains on the yeswantpur hosur line that runs parallel to the ORR, including behind ecospace.
Third, the people in cars dont deserve a solution they deserve contempt & ridicule. So ignore the jam the congestion is a natural disincentive.
