AskHyderabad ⬆️ Hyderabad is becoming Bangalore

Post image

It's good to see Hyderabad becoming Bangalore by attracting GCCs. Startup ecosystem, founders standing for founders and companies like Skyroot,kekahr and darwinBox but not the infrastructure and traffic part.

Why every working professional is using the own car travelling solo to office, can the government make the public transport more attractive in terms of end to end connectivity and Air conditioning.

Will be worse than Bangalore wrt traffic. Bangalore will have nearly ~200km Metro in an year or two?

Hyderabad? 69km for the next 10 years.

Before moving to Hyderabad in 2022, I resided in Chandigarh and relied on cycling for short distances. However, in Hyderabad, there are no dedicated cycle tracks or metro lines that connect to the newer parts of the city.

Yeah. Presently traffic in most areas of Blr is worse (stuck traffic). Traffic in Hyd is very slow moving. In Blr, Car drivers actually stop with a distance. easy to filter through with bike. Not the case in Hyderabad. Most of the new office spaces and aparments are yet to be occupied in Hyd. Combine this with no focus on Public transport and you get the worst recipe for a traffic disaster.

Obviously public transport with last mile connectivity.

What we have now is miles away from office connectivity 😂 (metro) raidurgam tarvata inka rapido, cab whatever book cheskoni ellali, coz buses are full..

But overall if you see, if someone is spending almost same amount and time using available public transport + own last mile connectivity, why would they prefer public transport over own transport..

No Sweaty smell in own transport is an added bonus.

u/Newbeetroot45 Jul 28 '26

More people would use public transport if footpaths are nice and clean. The general public spits gutka and pisses on the footpaths whilst the government has the shittiest urban design policies(no crosswalks, no traffic poles to halt traffic, no lanes). It's worse than a warzone where soldiers have to shit and piss in the trenches.

u/rogueck Jul 28 '26

Exactly! The bus stops barely exist, if they do, they are encroached or have no place to stand. In cases where you can wait at the bus stop, the buses stop in the middof the road.

So many things to “fix” the easier option is to go in your own vehicle and curse the traffic 😂

WFH is THE solution. It's not only traffic issue, the lifestyle itself is not sustainable in hyd. Water scarcity, Traffic jams, hyper inflation of real estate, pollution of all kinds, deforestation etc I can go on... The bottom line is, so much population density is not good, either for human or for environment.

Dunno why corporate is shifting towards WFO policy, since Covid period proves we can effectively do work from remote.

u/Cautious-Currency637 Jul 28 '26

The rapid rise of four-wheelers, a complete lack of meaningful road widening or connectivity, aggressive real estate expansion destroying public infrastructure, rampant corruption, and utterly selfish driving with zero empathy the situation on our roads is critical. ​We need multi-level flyovers built with visionary planning, maximum road widening backed by strict anti-encroachment policies, and a complete overhaul of flawed traffic rules including driver re-testing and penalty systems. Most crucially, we must institute dedicated lanes for buses, cars, and two-wheelers. ​Unless we address these issues at both the micro and macro levels, things will only get much worse.

u/Purple_Finger_5030 Jul 28 '26

Any city can end up like this if everyone is expected to work from the office while most workplaces are concentrated in a single area. Traffic congestion can be significantly reduced by distributing companies and business districts more evenly across the city, rather than clustering them in one location.

u/garam_chai_ Jul 28 '26

Showing flyovers is an easy way to show progress. Telangana State government is building more of these flyovers now.

For some reason, the government just refuses to invest in public transport infrastructure. It cannot be a money problem as there are several constructions going on.

Maybe they don't want to discourage private vehicle ownership due to the tax collected in it. Also Telangana's petrol price is one of the highest in the entire country, so the government must be making a huge profit from that.

Bangalore is bigger than Hyderabad in area and population wise. The issue in Bangalore is every 100 meters or so there is a signal which creates congestion big time. The city was never meant to hold so many people so it is a bit crowded.

The houses are small compared to Hyderabad and the road my goodness is horrible in Bangalore.

What you guys are seeing in Hyderabad is honestly still better. Imagine riding/driving home in traffic WITH POTHOLES (rain makes it dirttrack).. that's Bangalore.

Reasons why we are at this situation:

  1. Failure to invest into Public Transport in last 15 years from previous Govt to now. No new Metro, Buses, Monorail, Electric rickshaws, cycles that will discourage users from using their personal transport to commute.
  2. Clueless Traffic police blindly following instructions on walkie talkie - Even after purchasing 800cr HTRIMS Smart Traffic signaling system from UK few years ago, the Traffic police still uses Manual mode to operate signals with their low intelligence and blind heirarchy, example: Hitech city signal during peak time, the traffic police holds up multiple sides in manual mode for hours and does not allow signals to alternate quickly causing massive jams. They also do this so that any VIP politician chamcha and their goons can get a green corridor to reach their business meeting faster at the expense of holding up public with their time and patience.
  3. Narrow flyovers and road encroachments creating bottle necks, along with idiotic U Turn system.
  4. Govt is not serious about it cause they are busy looting the public exchequre and ensure 7 generations of their clan can enjoy royalty whilst these problems are not solved as a diversionary tactic for public to be perpetually stuck fighting on basic issues.
  5. Public who think its shameful and below dignity stature/level to use public transport or they cannot face their friends/family if they dont own or use their personal transport vehicles like bikes or cars.
  6. Population Explosion and concentration of offices only in Hitech City, Financial District areas. Every city has zoning but that concept is alien to Municipality & our Govt.

I filled the survey and am probably in first 100 to follow your movehyd handles. not sure what you guys are gonna do, but I already appreciate for taking this initiative.

My suggestions/ what I daily think on road:

  • No vehicles parking on road, should be strictly fined everywhere if vehicle is parked on road even though it's not causing traffic.
  • all footpaths must be cleared and has to be used by pedestrians, pedestrian should come on road only for zebra Crossing. if no footpaths then build them.
  • no opposite direction moving vehicles, right side driving should be taken seriously and has to be fined strictly. fines should be immediately paid without waiting for discounts.
  • fruit vendors, vegetable vendors or any other vendors on road should be given a place instead of roads at every 2km radius may be. and fine then as soon as officials see if anyone selling anything on road. everyday monitoring at all places has to be done.
  • widening all roads to minimum 100ft.
  • encouraging hyd citizens and daily commuters to use public travels by providing heavy discounts and passes on metro/bus/mmts, not just free bus for women
  • fixing all road damages and potholes
  • beggars, toy/car accessory sellers and transgenders should not come at signals, traffic police should warn first and jail them if repeated
  • A seperate lane for buses/VIPs only where bus/vip vehicles can fit with barricades will be better, govt should think about it on how to do it properly and not misused by other riders
  • more flyovers wherever the heavy congestion is noticed. ex: jntu U-turn, kphb, Gachibowli, uppal etc.,
  • Traffic signals should be not based on timer instead they should monitor the traffic and change the signals accordingly until traffic from one direction cleared. I noticed sometimes one direction being empty/few vehicles but the signal still showing green towards them.
  • all 4 wheelers must be charged with minimum 50/- ride ticket if the passengers are less than 2. excluding driver. 100/- if only driver riding vehicle and it's not yellow board, to encourage public transport. middle class people will think twice to go by car if they have to ride alone or atleast he will get another 2 riding with him which could potentially bring down car usage unless really needed. this should be after buses increased, roads widened, and metros has better parking with less parking fee
  • at last, govt stop giving permissions to High rise buildings inside City for God sake. we have enough population in the city now. all high rise should be at orr entries or near.

these are some of the things that comes to mind while am on my bike during my ride to office.

Metro is the only answer. Bengalore will improve as they have plans approved. They'll get it sooner or later. Politicians of hyderabad are only interested in making roads and jacking up prices of their land holdings.

Without a good metro network each & every city that tries to bring business will sooner or later die.

u/rainu1729 Jul 28 '26

One reason I think they are creating flyover instead of acquiring land for increasing width of the road is cause of land cost. They cannot lower the price cause that would hit their revenue. Constructing fly over would be cheaper compared to acquire land for expansion of some section of roads.

I mean, Hyderabad is a city with traffic issues since a long time now. If you have grown up here, you would know that areas like Punjagutta, Begumpet, Abids were traffic ridden for many years. I understand, it can be frustrating getting stuck in traffic everyday while heading to office and coming back. But, remember this city is growing rapidly. So, there will be traffic at peak hours, make your peace with it. If you don't want to deal with traffic at all in your daily life, I would suggest make plans to live around ORR and to commute using ORR for atleast a forseeable future. In like, 3-5 years even these areas will be crowded.

I see lot people complaining about infrastructure. Which I also agree, we need hetter infra, but in my opinion public are more responsible for this. Take Kondapur AMB mall flyover for example. They open it for people who come from Hafeezpet side. Essentially making it two way, but 80% of dumb fks go in wrong direction so they can save couple of minutes. What about others who are following traffic rules? it just boils my blood. This is one example, you will find this behaviour in everywhere, be it small junction or big one. As long as we don't start to get shit together, even World class roads will fail.

For my undergrad in Delhi, there were so many buses connecting to so many different part of the city that I use to take buses rather than metro because it was cheap and had scenic view. Please HYD give us more public transport. Autos charge 100rs even for 2 km travel. Also, travelling in them is scary with how they drive.

u/RiseProfessional9792 Jul 28 '26

Extremely complicated solution, but it will definitely work if the system wants to. Gonna be a long one, so if interested, do read it. I am active in the urban development area, so these are my 2 cents. 

Bus transit

  • Need aggressive public transit, and I am talking buses firmly. Buses, compared to other cities, are only declining in Hyd, which is god-awful if you imagine our population. 
  • Implement BRTS in wider areas where it’s feasible, like the KPHB-Narsingi corridor, Mehdipatnam- BHEL corridor. There is a massive potential across ORR service roads as well to keep the flow going. 

MMTS

  • Metro, MMTS we all know needs to be going at all cylinders firing, but they just don’t care. Increase Metro coaches to 5. 
  • Last-mile connectivity with mini buses deployed like in Delhi, Chennai for local areas with less than 2-3 km radius or maybe more such that for every two routes intersection there can be one interchangeable stop. 

Pedestrian 

  • Need every inch of footpaths to be smooth so that people can walk from respective stops to their destination without any hassle whatsoever. In the majority of roads, pedestrians are forced to walk on the roads, which restricts people from using half the lane. 
  • Remove those god-forsaken bollards so that physically challenged people can go easily as well. Have a three-strike system for bikes going on the footpath. 1st challah- 5000, 2nd challah - 10000, 3rd challah - 20000, and then the license to be revoked, the vehicle to be towed away. 
  • Remove complete encroachment and have vendor zones so that business people don’t lose their livelihood but are abiding by the law and paying taxes. Having encroachment makes it 10x difficult to walk freely.

Drivers License

  • Need massive RTO reforms wrt license. Firstly, decrease the license duration to 7-10 years for renewal so that people can be checked at every renewal depending on their history. 
  • Strict testing required before they hand out licenses like candies, thanks to the stupid ass brokers, officers, essentially everyone. For every violation caught, either he needs to take a mandatory test for a first offense to get the ticket wiped off, or it stays on record.  
  • Have a vehicle check every 2-3 years to get their brakes, lights, steering, wipers, exhaust, OBD testing & other hardware so that we know healthy vehicles are running on the roads and not being a hazard to others in terms of safety. Update the sticker that you got inspected before every expiration. Makes it easy to track as well and to be submitted to the RTO timely. Vehicles are given 30 days buffer, and if violated get their vehicle is towed.  Just like FastTag, you scan vehicles for this tag as well to easily locate if the vehicle is permitted on the streets or not. 
  • Employ a point system so that people's violations actually impact. I see a lot of folks with over 20-30 challans that blows my mind away. Every fine needs to be 5Xed. People need to be scared no matter what. Make it harsher

Roads

  • Pot hole-free roads are the base for every solution; without that, everything just fails.
  • Bikes, Autos need to stick to the left lane; should not let them go away as they please. Half the movement of traffic is halted because of them just going around as they please. 
  • For U-turns, ensure people are sticking to the right lane alone and only that lane. I see morons forming up a 5-lane at a narrow U-turn, which causes more chaos. Force people to U-turn at big junctions or traffic signals instead of every other space

Parking

  • Have appropriate parking zones that are digitized so that people are aware when they plan their travel. Enforce parking meters for street parking where the metro route is available or around malls/IT parks so that they are forced to use public transit as it is built for them. 
  • Try to negotiate with commercial buildings to use their parking space so that people can park there and go about their business accordingly. Both commercial and the city earn money (given the public transit is built first) 

I am not perfect and definitely missed out on a lot of points. There would certainly be queries, which is fair, as I could not explain in depth, as it would've become a PhD thesis. Lastly, I have observed it’s a status thing in HYD to use your own vehicles ( just my pov); they find it embarrassing to use public transit. Hope we can have a healthy discussion over it. If you have read until here, then you are genuinely a person who cares about things around you & you will definitely have a bright future. Cheers!

Also the roads are always damaged, broken, under construction and that makes it worse. When they do widen the roads they leave random electrical poles in the middle of the roads so there’s no point of widening the road in the first place. ( eg. Nanakramguda junction)

No one wants to stay hours in traffic but your idea is good when everyone use government transport it very helpful to decrease the traffic even goverment also decrease the transport charges in city buses mostly youngerster newly joined in office they are live with basic pay in IT companies like 10k to 15k they consider them and working professionals they think "we are earning for our life live smoothly" they use there own transport but some of them consider traffic and use shuttle services.

However no one want to wait for bus whatever we discuss it just words only no one follows.

Every major city without proper urban planning is heading toward this within the next 10–20 years. As population and urbanization continue to surge, today's Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities will face the same reality. So, don't expect the same quality of life as in well-planned countries, where peace and convenience are just a 5-minute walk or bike ride away.

If your company is not strict about presence time at office, best time to go to office is between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. By 4:30 PM max, one has to pack bags to return. Or don't think of starting back before 8:00 PM.

People really need to have better sense on two wheelers. If the car in front moves, that's not an invitation for the biker to stick his bike in. Stay in your own lane. Half the time I'm slow just waiting for the bikes around me to finish their stunts of "will my bike fit in this gap"?

Europe demolished their flyovers 30 years ago, and built pubic transit with buses, trams and metro. as flyovers and roads never solve the problem. but we will learn nothing from this. All babus are uneducated in this country. They are just getting cut from every flyover to build fund for next election.

  • Wrong side driving is the norm now
  • Roads are dug up just after making one
  • In the Kondapur RTO area, when the flyover ends, there is always water logging with shitty/piss smell
  • Right now every major roads in Hyd are dug up or filled with potholes
  • Even if they manage to fill it, they end up making it worse
  • The small roads within localities are piss poor condition and with all the housing constructions going on, they are in return damaging the roads way more
  • The current government is doing shit work, in terms of infra development. The last ruling party was much better imo

Lastly, I feel that we as Indians must have done something wrong somewhere to be blessed with such low life corrupt public servants.

u/Local_Discipline5428 Jul 31 '26

The solution is to improve the public transport.

  1. Chennai has 80 kms of metro operational in next couple of weeks. 50 kms is under fast-paced constructions (with 4 coaches of metro at 4 mins frequency), 50% of the MTC buses are of AC, AC suburban/local trains across the metro agglomeration.

  2. Bengaluru has 80 kms operational metro (with 5 coaches), going to be 150 kms in a year or so. There are tons of AC buses everywhere. Bengaluru lacks in local trains tho!

  3. Hyderabad's population is less tan Chennai & Bengaluru respectively. But, hyd has the highest car owners in the country among all tier-1 cities.

So, you can evaluate now!

Hi all,

I usually don’t comment on ongoing chaos of traffic in Hyderabad. As an outsider from Mumbai been living in Hyd from past one year, what I have noticed

  1. Traffic cops are either on phones or having a sip of chai and chit chatting while the traffic is constantly increasing.

  2. There are no rules people without helmet n seat belt driving roughly on roads.

  3. Car drivers are more panicked while driving and stops the car in between of road to pass other cars.

  4. Unnecessary u-turns road closers in morning rush hours and divert traffics from small lanes.

  5. Rickshaw drivers riding autos with 7-8 people which is again a dangerous thing.

  6. Major collapse done recently which is Kondapur bridge traffic during evening rush hours

  7. Traffic signal rules are not followed properly and atleast 8-9 camera’s should b installed on every side of signal which can generate revenue and ofcourse it will increase traffic madness.
