This one is a key thing - Bangalore traffic is as bad as you can assume. I didn't believe a 12 kms commute would take 45 minutes to an hour but that is true. AND, on the top of that, this is not a route where construction is in progress. It takes me anywhere from 30 minutes on a normal day and upto 1 hour on some days, depending on when I leave. Same route takes 20 mins while getting back home. How? I don't do the mistake of leaving work after 5pm!!
To give an idea how long the commute could take to IT areas, here is some timing info. Again, this is assuming semi-peak hours, not early morning (defined as 7-8am). Also, assuming you are driving a 4 wheeler, not taking Bike or public/company transporation. These timings to any point can change at any point of the day, for no specific reason but should give you a ballpark idea.
