Bcity traffic

“ … I like the way you walk, I like the way you talk… Oh Suzy Q” I sang as it played on the player. It was an old song by Creedance Clearwater. I was stuck up in the exit passage of the parking lot at my work place. The security guards were trying their best to manage the traffic. The man in the car next to my smiled at me and gave an expression which read ‘ I guess we are stuck here forever’. I was at the same spot for the past 15 mins. It was not the first time that I was stuck up in a maze of vehicles.
B city traffic has been this way for a while now. The upcoming Metro, which is supposed to make traffic management easy, has created a mess out of the Bangalore city. The construction is being done at a very slow pace. Roads are dug at various places which has lead to a blockage of the traffic flow. Apart from these, Flyover construction at certain other spots has created a hassled environment.
Three wheeler drivers drive on these roads as though they are driving on a free lane. Disregarding the presence of other fellow drivers, they squeeze in every opening and gaps that they can find in the traffic. Unavoidable deep water filled pits welcome us everywhere. Bikers add to the blockage by riding on the wrong lane.
Rain fall acts like sweet poison. While travelling in a car, if there is a rain fall, you can do nothing but drown along with the entire city. Where as a bike ride in these cases often lead to a fever or cold. It is impossible to stop somewhere once you get on to the main road. The only option you’ll be left with would be to get drenched for an hour or two.
There is no way to avoid this mess. If one travels during post-office hours, they are bound to get stuck in this traffic. I just hope Metro brings in joy and satisfaction to the vehicle users in the Bcity.
