“My friend walked 12 km home in Bangalore today. He didn’t get taxis/autos/rapidos or anything. The quality of life even for the top 1% after having all the means is just low and low in this city,” he wrote user X Tushar on the microblogging platform.(Also Read: Bengaluru Traffic: Man Claims Children Returned From School At 9 PM

The individual wrote: “And I see people defending this city like it’s a matter of pride. Everyone should love their city/country, but also be aware of the limitations and problems. Because until then, it won’t get better.”
Another said, “Most of these problems can be solved if most companies move away completely. Employees can meet once a month or quarterly. At that time, teams should do fun activities, meet others and everything.” (Also Read: ‘Build More Metro Lines’: Netizens Furious As Bengaluru’s Traffic Gets Worse)
“And then people would say, the weather is good in Bangalore,” posted a third.
A fourth commented: “Looks like your friend faced traffic even while walking. Usually 12km at a normal pace can be covered in 120 – 140 minutes.”
“Time for people to think about location priorities and lifestyle priorities – Bangalore was never designed for such a large population – no matter how many extra people complain it won’t change the reality,” shared another.
