![]() It is a peaceful route and almost nil traffic except some trucks. Also I have seen lots of cabbies plying through this. It is convenient if travelling from Whitefield/Hopefarm side as seen in your map, but otherwise I feel there is no much advantage except you can get away with the toll as it is a bit longer navigating around the airport area and reach Devanahalli and again come down to airport- A snap on the way- ![]() | |

| ![]() A concrete mixer lorry has rear ended a verito cab opposite jp Morgan towards belandur. Both are parked on the right lane. There was already a small build up due to this around 4pm. |

| ![]() The Devanahalli side toll seems two-way, valid for 24 hours. I've had multiple Uber cabbies hand over the ticket when entering the city from KIA, no payment. |

Now, one can manage with summer wear during winter. In the coming summers, we may be forced into beach wear :-) | |

During the day it's a nice peaceful road to drive on with very little traffic and with a freshly laid tarmac for most of the journey you reach in about the same time that the regular route takes and is a no-brainer if you are located in the Whitefield area. You only find some bad patches near Devanahalli town. I have never paid toll !! I just collect a receipt on the up-ramp to the airport and hand it over when I exit the down ramp. | |

BANNED | ![]() Near Agara in HSR, en route Jakkasandra, a few moments ago this morning, I saw a Tavera taxi with its front suspension broken. It is in the middle of the road. Im not sure how it can be moved out. Expect some jams and snarls if using this road. |

The pain was getting from Hoodi Halt to Office at Graphite India. Ended up walking almost all the way except for the Hoodi circle - Gopalan School stretch where I took a bus. Walk timing: Hoodi Halt - Hoodi Circle - 7 min Gopalan School - RMZ Centennial - 20 min I did spend some time waiting at the end of Hoodi Flyover and Hoodi circle for busses and haggling with Auto drivers, which was about 15-20 min of time wasted. Taking the train is not a bad idea at all for people travelling from areas around Majestic, BLR Cantt, East etc. or even folks who can get to Byappanahalli via Metro as I did see a foot over bridge that connects Byappanahalli metro to the railway station. Only need to ensure that you match your timings to train timings as in the morning there are only 3 trains that connect BYPL & Hoodi - 7.25, 9.35 & 10.05 am. Folks travelling to ITPL will have no issues finding a bus from Hoodi circle but its people who travel to Graphite/SAP who will have an issue as you either need to walk quiet a bit or take a bus all the way to ITPL and then take another to Graphite or pay Rs 50 for an auto from Hoodi circle. Inspiration for this was #Nammacityexpress where Suhas travels from Hebbal to his office in Cessna Tech Park ORR via train and it takes 20 min and Rs 10 for a one way journey. Apparently they are in talks with BMTC & Indian Railways to adjust train timings to fit work timing of general shift, UK & US shift as well ![]() Planning to take the train back to Cantt. as well. Lets see how that goes! Last edited by procrj : 7th November 2016 at 09:22. | |
