Suggestion for Transportation problems in Bangalore
 

So, bangalore is expanding exponentially, and so is the traffic problem and any other problem with it. With so many jobs getting "Banglored", wouldn't it be nice that people coming to work in Bangalore (permanently or temporarily) or NRIs returning to Bangalore, don't have to see all the traffic jams, pollution, and water logging during monsoon.

 

So, here are some of my suggestion:

 

1) Small domestic (initially) airport south of Electronic City.

Imagine peepul flying from Delhi to bangalore in 2.5 hrs, have to drive to electronic city where vast majority of Tech and Biotech companies are located in same 2.5 hrs.. he he irony haan ?

 

So, I think, let couple of private airlines who want to make bangalore there hub (as in airlines in US) come togeather with state govt or central govt  in whatever ratio to Build Own and Operate the airport, with some part of profit going to state and or central govt.

 

1.1) Create a Suburb south of Electronic City.

This city should be incharge of the airport. People live there and coomuute to their job within 15 minutes.

 

2) Small domestic airport east of whitefield

Same a (1)

 

3) Build Freeway system between Devanhalli, Whitefield, Electronic City and west bglr

This freeway can be tolled, and local companies can be tacked 5 paise per Rupee they earn, to help the city build this transit system. There will be some road leading to and from MG Road, etc.

With over 1000 crore business, that would generate 50 crore per year to build this. And corporations would love such a system, so I am thinking would mind the extra tax. In the past Infosys has helped cleaning and building road to Electronic city..

 

4) Create sub-burb near Devehalli

Encourage companies to open up there and developers to develop there. With malls, shopping centers, movie theaters.

Peepul come to M G Road, Brigade Road and Commercial street only during weekend.

Hell, if the suburbs are developed well, they don't even need to do that. Decentralize bangalore.

 

5) Finally, build power plants for bangalore AND karnataka

Why should everyone have generators and still, even now, the major industry of every state and coutntry is agriculture. Why should poor and some rich farmers suffer for the limited electricity which may be diverted to bangalore to woo the foriegn investment.

 

6) Oh one more thing, encourage ingenuity in Indian companies..like helping students in IISc to come up with ideas and start companies, rather than copy things from other countries and or just to work for foriegn companies.
