Bengaluru traffic woes are no secret, but a recent post on Reddit has gone viral for perfectly capturing the chaos many residents face every day. A user compared their blocked commute to being stuck in a zombie movie, triggering a wave of relatable responses from frustrated citizens.
Usual Route Turns into a Maze of Road Closures
The post, titled “Riding in Bengaluru is like a maze”, was shared by Reddit user @Infinite-Fold-1360. They explained how a typical ride to the office turned into a nightmare because of multiple road blockages caused by sewage work.
"I started from my house at 10 am, hoping to reach the office by 10:30. The first street was blocked. The second route? Also blocked due to sewage work. The third one had a mile-long jam because all other roads were blocked,” the user wrote.
"Felt Like a Zombie Movie", Says Redditor
The user said they barely moved from their location by 10:15 am. Sharing their frustration, they added, “Not just me, but I saw so many two-wheelers confused, trying to negotiate the maze. Felt like a zombie movie where everyone is running around like a headless chicken.”
Eventually, they gave up on reaching the office and returned home to attend meetings online. They ended the post with a striking line: “It is sad that our daily tragedy is turning into an experience of negotiating a maze.”
Bengaluru Residents Relate: “It’s Like Playing Tetris on a Bike”
The post quickly gained attention, with fellow Bengalureans jumping into the comments to share their own stories.
One user wrote, “Riding a bike here is like playing Tetris. You just try to fit wherever you can. Total chaos, waste of time, money, and mental health.” Another said, “I just moved to Bengaluru and I already feel this pain. It’s madness.”
Some Blame Poor Planning, Others Praise Google Maps
Several users suggested using apps like Google Maps to find alternate routes. One commented, “Thank God for Maps. It’s the only way I survive daily commutes.” Others pointed out how both two-wheelers and four-wheelers now share the same suffering.
One said, “The pure pleasure of seeing bike riders feel the same pain as us on four wheels.”
