Karnataka - Bangalore

Traffic jams are welcome

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: This might sound strange, but travelling back and forth from their offices has become the best time for the car owners of Bangalore city. Thank the FM radio stations for that. With a variety mix of film and non-film hits and a range of interactive programmes, these radio channels have made those traffic jams a bit inviting for these car drivers. With more channels coming , the future is bright for the listeners. And, of course, the car drivers will have lot of time to enjoy the programmes, simply because our traffic jams are only going to get longer. Isn't it time for helmets to come with FM radio attached. Why should the motorcyclists lose out on all that fun?
