An hour in the Traffic Jam

The title may sound like some high school essay, but if you are a regular traveller from Electronic City towards Bangalore in the Hosur Road, then you will really understand how much that one hour means for you...

I waste one hour everyday when I neither do useful office work, nor spend it peacefully at home.The normal situation on a weekday evening is as below. One should remember that my house is hardly 12 kms from office:

Starting time ---------- Time of Travel
(From office) ---------- (approximate)

6:15 PM -------------> 1 hr 30 mins
7:15 PM -------------> 1 hr 15 mins
8:30 PM -------------> 45 mins to 1 hr
9:30 PM -------------> 20 mins to 40 mins

The final conclusion is the earlier you want to reach home, the more you suffer sitting in the vehicle. This is the minimum possible time for normal days. If it is a rainy evening, add 30 minutes to each of the above values. :-)

I am not into analysing the root cause and solutions for this problem. But what I can conclude is that, IT boom has made common man suffer a lot everyday. God save them!!!
