Bengaluru’s housing choices are mobility choices

A home in Bengaluru is also a decision about daily travel. New housing may offer more space, but a long commute can add cost, time and stress. Buyers should examine existing road and public-transport access rather than relying only on a future infrastructure promise.nnCivic elections and transport planning are linked because local authorities decide many of the services that make a corridor liveable. Bangalore Herald will connect housing coverage to commute, drainage and neighbourhood facilities.

The useful comparison is not the distance on a map but the peak-hour journey, public transport frequency, safe walking route and access to schools and clinics. Bangalore Herald will report those practical conditions when covering housing.
