Everyday i travel by auto to college.There is no direct bus that goes from R.T nagar to New B.E.L road.If i choose to travel by bus I have to wait near the bus stop from 7 in the morning,board a bus that goes via Doordarshan Kendra and then wait there till i get a Bus to New B.E.L road.After reaching New B.E.L road i have to walk 2kms to reach college.To add to the misery my college does not provide bus facility.The reason being it is in the heart of the city.All this compells me to take a rickshaw to college.In first year(2005-06) it costed only Rs20-22 to reach my destination(with the correct meter).In second year(2006-07) due to hike in auto fares(Rs.14 minimum fare) it used to cost Rs.28-30.This trend continued till my 7th semester(just 2 months  back -2008). There was no problem even when BIAL was  newly introduced in Bangalore.The problem came into being  after modifying  the road near Gangenahalli crossing.Earlier there was a provision to take a right turn near Ashwath nagar signal leading to Sanjay nagar.But now there is a new road resembling a bridge with no underpass ( an elevated road) that has been constructed which has changed the entire crossing. There is no right-turn provision only .There is a left turn that leads to  the airport.Vehicles from R.T nagar , Sultanpaltya , Hebbal , Anandnagar intending to go to mathikere,MSR nagar,Sanjay nagar and other areas around it have to go all the way to Mekri circle and then take a U-turn to reach  Ashwath nagar road.Because of this change in infrastructure i have to shell down Rs 50-55 to reach college.I can go to Commercial street paying 5 bucks extra from R.T nagar.I will be looking for an alternative to reach my destination everyday.It is such a pain.All this just to cross one streatch of road.Phew!.BIAL is making a huge hole in my pocket.I am really happy with the way Bangalore is developing.BIAL seems to be a boon.There is a metro-rail coming up in the city.But the way Bangalore is building its roads is pretty annoying.The earlier routes were very convinient in some areas.But this route could have been done in a better way keeping in mind about the convinience of people who live here.I know earlier routes will not be retained.But its making my pocket empty
