Bengaluru residents have been facing traffic woes for a long time. Now the Infosys director has weighed in on the issue in an X post which went viral.

Bengaluru is known for its infamous traffic jams, and now the residents of the city can go on a special “4-day, 3-night trip” for a “Chaar Jam Yatra”. The ‘offer’ was made by Infosys director Mohandas Pai on X where he highlighted some of the most affected areas of the city – Outer Ring Road, Silk Road Junction, Marathahalli, and HSR Layout.

Sharing the poster, Pai captioned it as a “sad joke” for the capital city of Karnataka.

“A sad joke on Bengaluru. At least we have a sense of humour about our suffering and an uncaring government,” Pai posted on X.

What Did The Users Say About Bengaluru Traffic Jam?

The X post went viral in a flash and has so far garnered over 177.5K views, drawing several comments.

“Joke is not Sad per say, but the fact that its not written in Kannada might upset many!” a user commented.

“At the same time Bengaluru 10 minutes delivery app which works everywhere else,” another one said.

“Finally Banglore folks came out of weather bubble and are raising voice against the mess in the city!” another user wrote.

A user named four such points in Pune, “In Pune also we have it – Warje Bridge, Wagholi, Bhumkar bridge, Mundhwa.”

“Yatra could not commence due to jams in various parts of city,” another user said.

Amid growing online discussions, Pai met with Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to address Bengaluru’s critical infrastructure challenges.

Speaking to the media after their meeting, Pai emphasised the need for comprehensive urban planning, including improved roads, sidewalks, and metro expansion. He said that Shivakumar assured him of “significant development within six months” and expressed confidence that the concerns raised would be acted upon.
