A Bengaluru woman¡¯s witty comparison of Russia¡¯s 149-hour drive to Bengaluru¡¯s infamous traffic went viral on X, gaining over a million views. Her comment, ¡°You can do that in Bangalore traffic too,¡± sparked agreement.
Bengaluru's traffic issues are notorious, often ranking the city among the worst globally for commute times. Rapid urbanization, inadequate road infrastructure, and a growing population have led to severe congestion, with commuters spending hours stuck in traffic daily. The city's tech boom has added to the pressure, as major IT hubs attract thousands of vehicles.

If that was the case you could not have posted by sitting in 4 walled room.
It is not different from any cities also and also bringing any Indian city by Indian is unwarranted
Bengaluru is way better than Paris, London, Dhaka, Jakarta

Why always degrade Bangalore? Did you travel in other cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, poona? Bangalore traffic is much more controlled than any other City traffic. Good and check.

Okay show me how do you drive for 149 hours and still in Bengaluru? I'm not from Karnataka, (from TN) but such fringe cringe stale jokes should stop. ?? You can drive even for 200 hours within any city.
