Viral Video: Bengaluru Motorists Abandon Cars on flyover

Bengaluru, known for its vibrant culture and booming tech scene, is also infamous for its traffic woes—often understated but all too real. Last night, the city's motorists experienced yet another nightmare as they found themselves ensnared in a massive traffic jam, turning the usually bustling streets into a parking lot of frustration.

In a scene that could only be described as chaotic, vehicles were stuck on the flyover, unable to move an inch forward or back. The situation escalated to the point where many drivers decided to abandon their cars and walk away, leaving behind a trail of stationary vehicles. This unexpected exodus quickly became a viral sensation on social media, with videos capturing the absurdity of the situation.

The chaos was further exacerbated when the Bengaluru Traffic Police decided to close one side of the flyover to mitigate congestion after heavy rains caused flooding in Rupena Agrahara. This decision, while well-intentioned, led to hours of standstill traffic as vehicles crept forward at a snail's pace. The frustration among motorists was palpable, and many took to their phones to document the surreal scene unfolding around them.

Compounding the issue, the Karnataka government had already advised private companies to allow employees to work from home on October 23 due to the torrential downpours. Yet, heavy vehicles continued to clog the roads, seemingly undeterred by the government’s advisory.

As the traffic jam stretched on, one could only wonder if the cars were engaging in some sort of slow-motion protest. Perhaps they were tired of being mere modes of transport and wanted to be recognized as part of Bengaluru's rich tapestry of life!

So, next time you're caught in traffic in the Garden City, just remember: it’s not just a jam; it’s a community gathering! Who knows? You might just make some new friends while waiting, or at the very least, get to know your fellow motorists better—after all, you’ve got plenty of time to chat while stuck in the endless sea of vehicles!
