Venkatesh D., a software development executive at Google in Bengaluru, shared a video documenting his frustrating experience of taking 45 minutes to travel just 4 kilometers to work. He expressed his anger over the city's traffic conditions, questioning the effectiveness of the high taxes he pays, which exceed 30% of his income. Venkatesh noted that the same journey usually takes him only 10 minutes, highlighting a significant discrepancy. His video resonated with many Bengaluru residents, who echoed his frustrations about the city's infrastructure. With a population surpassing 13 million, Bengaluru faces severe traffic congestion exacerbated by narrow roads, limited public transport, and ongoing construction. The video went viral, prompting discussions on social media about the need for serious traffic planning rather than just flyovers. Many users shared their own experiences, with comments reflecting a widespread sentiment that the traffic situation feels more like punishment than commuting. This incident underscores the urgent need for improved urban planning to accommodate the growing population and vehicle numbers in Bengaluru.
