A social media post highlighting massive congestion at the Goraguntepalya flyover in Bengaluru has triggered widespread discussion online, with many commuters calling attention to what they describe as long-standing urban planning challenges at one of the city’s busiest traffic nodes. The junction, located on Tumakuru Road (NH-75), is known for heavy round-the-clock movement of buses, private vehicles, and rail traffic.

The post, shared by X handle @bengalurupost1, painted a grim picture of the situation at the flyover. The user wrote, “Only in Bengaluru: train jam, road jam, bus jam. Welcome to Goraguntepalya Flyover, Bengaluru. Neither the railways nor the GBA got it right. Skewed planning at its finest. Wait 10 years for a Metro double-decker? By then traffic will be 5x. Urban planning or an urban patience test?” The sharp wording quickly caught the attention of daily commuters who frequently use the corridor.

Reacting to the post, several users shared their own experiences of being stuck for long durations at the junction, especially during peak hours. Many pointed to the complex convergence of railway crossings, highway traffic, and city bus movement as a major reason for the persistent bottleneck. Some users also flagged the area as a critical weak point in Bengaluru’s broader mobility network.

Goraguntepalya serves as a key entry and exit point connecting the city with northern Karnataka and neighbouring states, which further increases pressure on the infrastructure. The ongoing and proposed metro and road expansion works in the surrounding region have also contributed to temporary slowdowns, according to regular commuters.

While authorities have previously announced plans to ease congestion in the corridor, the viral post has once again spotlighted commuter frustration and renewed calls for faster, better-coordinated infrastructure upgrades at the busy Bengaluru junction.
