Bengaluru X User Shares A Pic Of The City From 1960s “With Disciplined Traffic”; Netizens Try To Identify The Popular Spot

When we think about Bengaluru, we think about jam-packed traffic, parking and congestion issues, and of course, good weather. So, when an X (formerly Twitter) user shared a picture showing wide roads and footpaths in the city, people were left wondering which part of Bengaluru is it! If you haven’t guessed the place either, then scroll on to know the answer!

X User Shows How Bengaluru Roads Looked Like In The 1960s

X user Karnataka Weather recently shared a nostalgic picture of Bengaluru from the 1960s. The grainy, black-and-white picture shows spacious roads, significantly wider footpaths, fewer cars and buses on the road, and even people freely cycling around. This is an absolute contrast from what the city’s roads look like right now.

In the caption, he added that back in the day, the city had “well built roads & footpaths with disciplined pedestrians & traffic. We lost Civic Sense now unfortunately.” He then went on to ask people if they could identify the place in the picture. Well, if you can see Vidhana Soudha in the picture, then you can guess that this is the Coffee Board area of Bengaluru. Of course, with was less traffic as compared to the neighborhood we see today!
