A software engineer in Bengaluru shared a Reddit post about his daily struggle with public transport and it has widely gone viral. Titled “Bengaluru public transport + return to office = certified insanity,” the post perfectly captures the frustration of many, shedding light on the challenges of daily commuting in the city.
The techie, who describes himself as a “proud Bangalorean, born and raised,” shared that life has become “nothing short of a test of endurance” for him ever since he made the conscious decision to take public transport to work. What he thought was a responsible thing to do and a smart choice turned into a daily endurance test. “This is not commuting. This is survival,” expressing himself.
What Did The Reddit Post Say
In his now-viral post, the engineer highlighted how he travels 25 km every day to and from his office. He also shared a shocking incident when he was dropped in the middle of a flyover near Nagawara Junction. Mind you, it was not a designated bus stop and there was no footpath, crossing or help nearby and he was forced to make his way through speeding traffic to get to the other side and catch another bus.
Bengaluru public transport + return to office = certified insanity
When he tried boarding a bus waiting at a signal, the conductor said, “This is not a stop! Go to the bus stop!” His reaction? “Bro. Your colleague just dropped me in the middle of nowhere. What stop,” calling the situation “real clownery.”
Here’s What The Techie Said
The techie didn’t hold back as he went on to criticise the BMTC staff, writing,“The driver looks like he’s five seconds away from quitting, and the conductor treats you like you owe him rent.” He also had something to say about the never-ending metro construction on Outer Ring Road, which has made traffic worse than ever before.
Describing the daily grind, he further wrote, “A team-building exercise for introverts, a cardio session for the brave, and a lesson in patience for all.”
The rant resonated with others who rely on public transport in the city for daily commuting, sparking a debate about Bengaluru’s traffic and public transport issues. One user chimed in saying, “So trueeeee!! Bengaluru isn’t for the week especially when you are dealing with conductors.” “I remember when being in Bangalore was a luxury. Now it has become about survival,” added another.
Well, it seems that getting to work in Bengaluru has become more challenging than ever.
