Bengaluru, August 21: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Wednesday highlighted the traffic woes of Bengaluru city, saying that we are spending more time in mind-numbing traffic than with our family and loved ones. He also called on Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar who is also Bengaluru Incharge Minister to convene an urgent meeting with elected representatives and traffic management experts to address the issue.
According to the South Bengaluru MP, "The traffic scene in Bengaluru is getting more distressing every passing day. Even Sundays, which used to be relatively easier, is becoming as nightmarish as the weekdays." In a series of tweets on X, the BJP MP said, "Every day, we are adding thousands of new private vehicles onto the roads which is only adding to the problem. Even running errands from neighbourhood stores takes so much time. The city roads, including the small lanes in residential areas, are way beyond its carrying capacity, and there is no space to make more roads. Anyway, more roads mean more private vehicles."

"Clearly, we are not doing enough to reduce the number of private vehicles on road and increase the public transport options. BMTC is crowded. Metro, during peak hours, is so packed that you feel suffocated. The high charging Uber Ola taxis are not reliable and take forever to even turn up at your location. Autorickshaws simply cancel rides on you. Our footpaths are not pedestrian friendly, and in most places are encroached by hawker
