Bangalore Congestion BMTC Roads Routing Need Help public transport
Dear Prajagale,
I need your help. I need information on congested corridors of Bangalore for further analysis to decongest them in the context of re-jigging the BMTC routes and schedules. I would like take Narayanan's post BMTC Zones and divisions, further and present a report/presentation on possible solutions with little more on-ground study.

What is needed is?
- Name/Location of the congested stretch
- What generates this congestion?
- # of Bus Stops, Ped Xings in the vicinity?
- Nearest National/State Highway, ORR/NICE stretch
- Locality Specifics - Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Offices etc.
Since I am currently based in US, I am 10 years behind to know the situation on ground. I do hope that Praja members who are based in B'lore would be able to provide this information.

Business regions and residential areas

What exactly do you mean by congested corridors - little confusing?
Shouldnt you be segregating the city based on business and residential regions and then work towards the solution.
Following is a list of high density the business regions (i might have missed out a few)-
1.Whitefield/Mahadevpura region
2.Electronic City
3.Central business district (regions around MG Road and Vidhana Soudha - very huge area)
4.Banergatta Road
5.Bidadi/Kengari
6.Yelahanka (you can club it with Dobaballapur region also - which has a high concentration of industries)
7.Peenya
8.Kormangala region
9.Old Madras Road (KR-Puram region)

Ritesh, Mcadambi and others
Thanks for your contributions. What I mean by congested corridors is nothing but High density stretches. The one you have listed have been high density areas even in 80s and 90s also. Unfortunately, lately barring few, I don't think there is any area which is purely residential or purely commercial or industrial. Everywhere it is mixed traffic.
Can I request for more info on each of these stretches?
- Where does this congestion starts and where does it tapers off?
- Type of traffic like Factory bound, offices bound or residential mixed etc?
- Also which are the corridors where the IT companies are located which generates considerable traffic?
Transmogrifier, Very good suggestion, once I have good inputs I will convert this into a Gyan page/book
Looking forward for more inputs.
Regards,
Syed

All the info should be there in two documents
- RITES CTTP or CTTS 2007. Most of CTTP is here on praja (search cttp), main report on kuidfc website
- bda's Masterplan: Areas and zones are listed with maps. Look for mutation corridors to know the upcoming congested areas
Bottomline, cttp has stats, masterplan gives an idea of congestion split across the city. What we may not have is traffic volumes by each corridor (not sure, tarle, naveen may know where to get this data from). transmog, no worries on gyan, we have ways to convert or merge informative or serously analytical posts to gyan!
