Bengaluru witnessed yet another day of relentless traffic congestion on Thursday, with netizens taking to social media to express their frustration and amusement. The city’s infamous traffic situation took a comical turn when a viral post advised citizens to "leave your vehicle and walk to the office," reflecting the public’s growing exasperation. Several roads across major tech corridors were choked with vehicles, leading to delays of up to two hours for commuters. The situation was exacerbated by road work, lack of public transport infrastructure, and the monsoon’s unpredictable showers.
Photos and memes flooded platforms like X (formerly Twitter), where users not only vented their annoyance but also discussed potential long-term solutions for the city's traffic woes from improved metro connectivity to strict carpooling policies. Some Bengaluru residents pointed out how the traffic problem not only affects productivity but also impacts the city's livability index. While the humor served as temporary relief, the message was clear: Bengaluru’s infrastructure needs serious intervention to keep up with its rapid urban growth.
