School reopening brings back daily traffic nightmare for Bengaluru students

With schools reopening after the Dasara holidays, students traveling along State Highway 35 through Varthur and Gunjur face long commutes. The #BackToSchool campaign, launched by Nooraine Fazal, found that many school buses traveled at 13 kmph or less over 21 school days. Residents reported that the congestion and poor road infrastructure cause fatigue and missed classes for students in areas like Sarjapur and Varthur.
