Overview
- A Bengaluru professional’s quip about changing jobs yet still commuting on ORR went viral, striking a chord with thousands of city workers.
- Another X post contrasted Hyderabad’s eight‑lane, well‑marked ORR with Bengaluru’s potholes and faded lane markings, drawing wide online reaction and calls for better upkeep.
- Bengaluru Traffic Police cite the 60‑km corridor’s heavy load of more than 12 lakh vehicles each day and confirm peak‑hour speeds of roughly 15 km/h.
- The route connects major IT hubs including Bellandur, Marathahalli and Mahadevapura, which concentrates commuter flows and prolongs daily travel times.
- Civic agencies point to ongoing work on flyovers, service roads and underpasses, and the Blue Line metro is expected to partially open by mid‑2026 as a limited relief measure.
