Rainfall often disrupts daily commuting. Waterlogged roads can slow down traffic, leaving vehicles stuck for hours. A Bengaluru traveller’s post is now going viral after he revealed that he spent nearly two hours in traffic and almost missed his flight. Read on to know why he thanked DigiYatra.

Bengaluru Traveller Thanks DigiYatra For Saving His Flight

Bengaluru traveller Nitin Sharma (@nitinsharma1) took to X to share his travel experience in the city. In his post, he revealed that his journey from Indiranagar to the airport took 2 hours and 15 minutes, despite the light rainfall. The traffic was so bad that he had almost given up on catching his flight.

However, things changed once he reached the airport. It took him just nine minutes to get from the entrance to the departure gate, which he credited to DigiYatra and efficient airport operations. Sharing his experience, Sharma pointed out the stark contrast between Bengaluru’s advanced digital infrastructure and its struggling physical infrastructure.

The Internet Has A Lot To Say 

The post highlighting Bengaluru’s poor road infrastructure has gone viral online. This is not the first time commuters have complained about the city’s traffic and roads. Many users have shared how it can take them hours to cover short distances.

One user commented, “But Bengaluru is Bengaluru. Even with horrible traffic and chaos around, I still choose to stay in the heart of the city, Indiranagar.”

Another user taunted, “Sir, please wait. A tunnel will be built in 50 years.”

“Had the same plight yesterday, barely made it to my flight! But then, post check-in, it was a breeze because of DigiYatra,” another netizen added.

One user wrote, “While traffic congestion due to lack of infra is a real problem, half of the problem can be solved if the roads are smooth and pothole-free. How hard is it to solve this problem? Most of the African countries have seen better roads.”
