The travel time of 2 hours isnt Chenni Bangalore, but Hoskote to Sriperumbudur 30 + 40 KM as Mr. Padmanabhan mentioned. Bangalore (where is the ' 0' stone Kalasipalayam o Lalbagh ?) to Hoskote 30KM it takes 65 minutes generally and may take more time during weekends. Sriperumbudur to Chenaai 40KM (' 0' stone near paris corner) takes 80 Minuts. This adds to 2hours 25 minute.So the total time travelled is 4 hours plus and not 2 hours. Government Agencies shouldnot make tall Claims like Comercial Companies. But make good roads to travel and charge nominally coresponding to the extent that the passengers will save on Fuel. more

First of all, the expressway starts at Hoskote (30 kms from Central Bangalore) and ends at Sriperumbudur (40kms from Chennai proper). So, one can conveniently add at least 3 hours to the commute. As for covering the expressway distance in 2 hours, the expressway should be totally obstacle free and cruising at a constant speed of at least 120kmph. Given our drivers and their discipline, not sure how feasible this is. Now, let us look at the existing Highway via Krishnagiri. We usually cover the distance of about 350kms, door to door and starting by 630am, in about 6 hours 30 mins, with a couple of breaks and a max speed of 100kmph (where possible). A few days back, when we drove the distance, it took us 9 hours, Thanks to the constructions and adding lanes to the highway. A few bottlenecks on the highway, if removed or reduced, would significantly reduce the driving time. - Enforce traffic discipline (just putting up sign boards is not enough). slow moving vehicles (especially trucks and tempos) to stick to left lane. - Absolute NO to parking on highway lanes - Separate barricaded lane for two wheelers. Today, they drive all across the road and they don't even pay toll. - Safe and easy pedestrian crossing for those living on either side of the highway. - Autos and the likes to be on the service lane. They usually travel a short distance. - Separate the wide end of the roads with barricades - Ambur, Sriperumbudur arch onwards to Chennai need improvements. Similarly, Attibelle to Bangalore, traffic needs to be streamlined. - Have 2 tolls at Krishnagiri, one for vehicles from Salem side and one from Vellore side. - Ensure that all fast tag lanes are open. Have cameras at least a km before the counter so that those without fast tag can be stopped then and there. No cash should be accepted. I think, the above do not need major investment or destruction of environment. With some modifications and will, they can be implemented. Adding more lanes will also not reduce the travel time. more
