Q:I’m to be posted shortly to Hyderabad for a fixed period of time, and I’ve heard so much about the traffic congestion. Since I’ll be commuting using my 2-wheeler every day, I need to know more about the problems afflicting road transport in Hyderabad.
Latest Answer: I would love to tell you more about the roads in Hyderabad that are so big they fit in thousands of vehicles with ease, but that would be beside the point. Personally, I live in a more developed part of Hyderabad called Gachibowli. So, I’m fairly alienated from the annoying traffic jams that I so frequently hear of. I do have to travel to nearby Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills sometimes, and I can tell that though the roads in these localities are big, you’d still have difficulty with the traffic. Along with the number of vehicles, the number of bottlenecks and potholes have grown as well from what I see. The Metro is expected to provide some relief once it’s complete, but we’ll have wait sometime for that to happen.
