PTC News Desk: Bengaluru's infamous traffic congestion struck again on Wednesday night, with heavy rain causing a major jam on the Electronic City flyover. Bangaloreans felt forced to abandon their vehicles and walk back home. Following a severe downpour and flooding in numerous parts of the city on Wednesday evening, Bengaluru traffic police shut down one side of the Electronics City flyover. This resulted in a major traffic jam that lasted over two hours.
Tired of waiting for traffic to clear, some commuters chose to leave the cars on the road and walk home.
Many commuters uploaded photos and videos of Bangalore's infamous traffic. Cars and other vehicles can be seen lined up in multiple images.
An X (previously Twitter) user called it "complete chaos" and said, “In this situation, if there is a medical emergency then there is no chance of survival. Electronic City flyover towards Madiwala is almost completely jammed Vehicles were not at all moving almost 2.30hrs for just 2 km.”
Another user shared the traffic situation, writing, “Completely Jammed from past 1.5 hrs in the #electroniccity flyover. I must have reached my home now which is 30kms away. Logged out at 5:20 and we are still stuck! We can see most of the employees of various companies frustrated and starting to walk.”
