A Bengaluru resident's social media video documenting his struggle with severe traffic congestion on his short daily commute has drawn attention to the persistent problem faced by city commuters.
A short commute in Bengaluru turned into a frustrating ordeal for one office-goer, and his experience is now resonating with many online. A video shared by Pankaj Huria stuck in heavy traffic has gone viral, highlighting the daily struggle that thousands of commuters in the city face while travelling even small distances.
The video was posted on Instagram by Huria, who documented his slow and exhausting journey to work. In the clip, he can be seen sitting inside his car while explaining how what should have been a quick commute had turned into a long wait on congested roads.
According to him, he left his home at around 9.15 am to head to the office. The distance he needed to travel was only about 6.5 kilometres. However, despite being on the road for more than half an hour, his car had barely made progress due to the dense traffic.
To show the situation more clearly, Huria then points his camera towards the car’s infotainment screen where Google Maps is running. The navigation display shows that he still has around 4.4 kilometres left to travel. At the same time, the estimated arrival time on the map reads 10. 16 am, suggesting that the short trip could take more than an hour in total.
The video captures long lines of vehicles crawling forward at a painfully slow pace, reflecting the gridlock that many Bengaluru residents encounter during peak hours.
