Overall

A pitiful city. Here's what you can look forward to if you have the misfortune of visiting this so-called global face of India: 1. Air that is seriously thick with vehicle smoke all through the year. 2. Roads that are so pathetic that your back will remember Bangalore long after you're back (sic) home. 3. People who think Kannada is the national language and anyone speaking in Hindi (or even English) is not worthy of stepping on their soil. 4. Autorickshaw drivers who take the prize for being the most corrupt and discourteous in the entire country. 5. Drivers who flout traffic rules like it is their birthright 6. Traffic congestion and looooong driving times 7. Unkempt parks and historical sites 8. One-way streets that'll make your head spin 9. Civic sense that is probably the lowest among the major cities 10. Government that is coorupt, ineffective, and devoid of any vision for the city. The weather is great but if that's all you care for, pick a smaller and friendlier city. Give Bangalore a complete miss.
