Overview
- Traffic police, BBMP, BMTC and IT firms have given in-principle approval to mid-week remote work on Wednesdays and staggered start times from 7:30am to ease the 9–10am peak on the Outer Ring Road
- BMTC has pledged to expand air-conditioned bus routes for tech corridor commuters while private companies will organise dedicated shuttle services
- Authorities will deploy cameras over a three-day trial period for data-driven traffic monitoring and enforce a zero-tolerance policy on illegal parking with immediate towing
- IT sector representatives have backed the initiative but are seeking formal shift schedules and advance notice for work-from-home days to ensure consistent implementation
- The operational fixes aim to reduce gridlock on the ORR before multi-year infrastructure upgrades like metro extensions and flyovers are completed
