“ If it is the best India … ‘:: The brutal removal of Bengaluru Takedown without city

The decline of Bengaluru is not sudden – it was stable, visible and strangely tolerated. “Bengaluru is a disaster, but it’s always the best India to offer,” said a Reddit user.

“Traffic can give you the SSPT, basic infrastructure is a myth, the cost of living is ridiculous, public transport is barely functional, power reductions occur in the so-called technological capital.”

In comparison, the user says: “Delhi? Take advantage of pollution and street crime. Mumbai? Pay 50K to live in a shoe box next to an open gutter. Chennai? SUMMERS with merger and car heating that charges foreign rates. Hyderabad? Wannabe BLR, but in one way or another worse traffic. Kolkata? Coi in the 1980s.

The last line makes it at home: “It’s like asking: which shipwreck do you prefer to be?

Frustration does not stop there. “In fact, we must find solutions for these questions, but taking into account the current government, the attitude of people, politics, judicial power – I do not think we can solve these problems,” writes another user.

Even when solutions exist, implementation is considered impossible. “The only solution is to come from and settle in, but you cannot find a job there. Average wages even in cities like Hubli-Dharwad is not going above 18K. Which is simply minimum to survive. A single permanent solution is to get out of this country. ”

Another Redditor added a context, pointing out of governance gaps: “We grew up before we can accommodate growth. All Bengaluru’s problems can be attributed to a total lack of coordination between the different agencies that provide basic needs. ”

The user cites BMTC as a case. “The BMTC does not have its own bus stops, it cannot decide on its own bus stops, it is based on private operators to manage electric buses and their drivers, it relies on traffic police to enforce the bus routes, they depend on the government of the State to buy buses and repair the prices.”

“The stakeholders are looking for their own interests,” they note, “hindering BMTC’s ability to provide good services.”
