BENGALURU TRAFFIC WOES
Beggar nearing vehicles at the signal
Regretfully one legged cripple
A woman with baby in her arms
Begging with drivers for alms
Vendors displaying flowers toys
Offering to sell to passengers.
Young adults on two wheeled cycle
Zipping through the space at will.
Tiny escooters ambling through
Delivery boys invariably rushing to.
Two wheeled scooters and motor cycles
Men women on their way to work places.
Three wheeled rickshaws carrying passengers
Journeying to reach their respective destinations.
Four wheeled cars driven by owners
Mostly to go only short distances.
Four wheeled cabs ferrying youngsters
IT professionals on way to their offices.
Four legged dogs and cows
Stranded in the middle of roads.
Six wheeled buses filled with women
On way to temples till now not seen.
Six wheeled trucks carrying loads
Of industrial or household materials.
Six wheeled tractors carrying debris
Of construction or demolition sites.
Half road blocked for widening or white topping
Vehicles on the road very slowly manoeuvring.
Service roads turned into main roads
Flyovers under construction for years.
All signals with vehicle accentuated unit
Stoppages last much more than a minute.
Cross road traffic also increased
Main road traffic gets slowed.
Some taking right turn or U turn
Traffic gets stalled due to this pattern.
Each vehicle moves at its own pace
Traffic movement an obvious menace.
Can we hope this situation will ever be eased
Even AI with all its hype can't get it relieved.
India with its diversity is unique
No tech solution can tweak.
