Bengaluru, known as the "Silicon Valley of India," is infamous for its congested traffic and long commute times. A Bengaluru man's effort to book an Uber auto during rush hour recently stunned Twitter users and ignited a heated discussion over the city's transport issues. The abnormally long wait time for the auto ride piqued netizens' interest, exposing the daily challenges of commuters in one of India's major metropolitan cities.??
This happened to Twitter user Anushank Jain, who just shared his Uber waiting time.
It's not like he had to wait 10 or 20 minutes for his auto to come, but he needed to wait for 71 minutes as his auto was coming from 24 Km away. We are sure this waiting time is too much to kill for. No one can wait after a tiring day at the office. But this guy just showed his Twitter people, and everyone is in shock while the other says it is normal.
Anushank Jain captioned this screenshot with the caption, "Huge respect for him if he actually shows up."??
In the tweet, you can see the auto driver standing exactly 24 Km away from where Jain has booked the Uber?auto. The time the Uber Auto will take to reach him is given along with the OTP; the rest of the things are hidden in the screenshot. In the tweet thread, he also mentioned in the comment section that the auto driver cancelled the trip after 1 minute. This has to happen because no one will wait so long!
We are sure this is the story of every Bengaluru citizen, as they have to go through this daily during peak hours. Within seconds, Twitter users swamped the platform with replies, memes, and personal experiences about their traffic woes in Bengaluru. Many people sympathised with Jain, while others shared their experiences with long lines during rush hour. The incident highlighted the greater issue of transport infrastructure and the necessity for efficient solutions in a city undergoing rapid urbanisation.
One person commented, "I have a lot of respect for you if you wait that long."
Another person said, "Lol, you seem to be the chosen one!" I assumed @Olacabs and @Uber_India automobiles were only for advertisements. If you need one quickly, none of them accepts or arrive for the pickup - even though the app shows a pile of vehicles only 1 minute away!
One user even wrote, "This tweet screenshot should be sent to all respected HR managers of "work from office" companies in Bengaluru."
