Man's Struggle Story To Book Uber Auto In Bengaluru During Peak Hour Leaves Twitter Users Stunned
Anushank Jain, a Twitter user, tweeted a snapshot of the Uber app's auto trip request, which showed that the auto was 24 kilometres away.
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.

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!

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!
Lol you seem to be the chosen one!

I thought @Olacabs & @Uber_India autos were just for the ads. If you need one urgently, none of them accept or arrive for the pickup - although in the app they show a pile of autos just 1 min away!
One user even wrote, "This tweet screenshot should be sent to all respected HR managers of "work from office" companies in Bengaluru."
