Mahatma Gandhi Road (popularly called as MG Road) is a road in Bangalore, which is capital of Karntaka state of India. It runs east from Trinity Circle at one end to Anil Kumble circle at the other end... Recently I also visited the place and here are few photographs...
I am sure that I need not to explain about the traffic conditions of the city... I have seen worst traffic conditions in banglore the conditions are not same on all the roads every time but still it wastes lot of time... Few roads inside the city are very narrow and traffic is increasing day by day...
MG Road used to be known as South Parade before independence of India. Later it was renamed as Mahatma Gandhi Road during 1948s...
Unlike Delhi, cycle-rikshaws are not there in the city. I am not sure about the reason but probably traffic. These slow moving means of conveyance may slow down the traffic further... So Auto-Raikshwas is the only option apart from public Transport.. During the visit I tried both types of buses which run inside the city.. Normal bus and few AC buses... and noticed and must thing in those buses that driver has the control to open the door whenever it stops at a particular bus-stand. Then it automatically closes and passengers can't open the door... Nice thing which should be a must feature in India...
There are lot of good showrooms on MG Road and most of the brands, restaurants are available on one side of the road... We came to MG road during the evening after having a nice visit to Banerghatta National Park... We had some snacks at KFC and started roaming around the places there....
MG Road is also one of the busiest roads in Banglore city and is lined on one side with various showrooms, food outlets and restaurants etc. It has many office buildings, shops and theaters as well. MG Road is also a pace to look for large number of buildings and banks...
On the other side of the road, Metro work was going on and they had places a model of the metro train which is planned to run on these tracks.... People go to see these coaches and also click some photographs with it....
Every one in the city is waiting for Metro to start and improve the connectivity of East Banglore with West part !!! The road has been converted into one way ... Commuters traveling towards MG Road from Anil Kumble Junction will have to turn towards Cubbon Road and go towards Manipal Centre & further on to Trinity Junction due to the construction of Metro Track...
The famous Hard Rock Cafe of Banglore !!! Its on the other side of the road....
MG Road is adjacent to the Museum Road and perpendicular to Brigade Road... It is also pretty close to a shopping area called Commercial Street...
Another Photograph of Hard Rock Cafe from other side of the road in Banglore...
