Bengaluru: Tired of the never-ending traffic and poor roads in Bengaluru, a local resident has shared online that he’s planning to leave the city and move to Hyderabad. His post has caught people’s attention on social media. On X (previously called Twitter), the man explained how his usual 40-minute journey took almost two hours, all because of what he described as a “random permanent route change” caused by roadwork.
“Bangalore is terrible. Because of a sudden (and permanent) route change, it took me 1 hour and 50 minutes to get to work. I’ve had enough. I’ll be moving to Hyderabad within a year,” he wrote. He went on to say, “Hyderabad is hot for just three months, but the rest of the year, its weather feels like Bengaluru.”
The post became popular quickly, and many people replied, sharing their own problems with the city’s traffic. Some agreed with him completely, while others talked about the differences between Bengaluru and Hyderabad, especially when it comes to roads, transport, and how easy daily life feels.
Bangalore sucks.😡
Due to random (permanent) diversion it took me 1hr 50 min to reach office when in regular days it used to take 40 mins.
Time to leave Bangalore.
In 1 year I’m moving to HYD for sure.
The weather in HYD is hot only for 3 months and then it’s almost like BLR.— Ray (@sde_ray) July 14, 2025
One person replied, “Hyderabad is definitely better when it comes to traffic, but the weather is like Bengaluru only for a few months. After that, it gets pretty hot.”
Another comment said, “I’ve lived in both cities. If we’re talking about roads and buildings, Hyderabad wins. But if you want to enjoy that, you’ll need to live in the western part of the city, and that’s expensive. It costs around ₹10,000 per square foot for a place that’s still 15 km away from Hitech City. If money isn’t a problem, Hyderabad is great for everyday life. But it doesn’t have the same weekend spots or vibe that Bengaluru has.”
A third person commented, “They call it the Silicon Valley of India? That’s a joke. Good infrastructure is still just a dream here.”
Even though Bengaluru is known as India’s tech hub, traffic jams continue to be a huge issue. The situation is made worse by too many vehicles, narrow roads, and construction that never seems to end. With over 13 million people living in the city and the number of vehicles rising every day, driving during busy hours has become a daily struggle for many.
