Bengaluru is infamous for its traffic woes. Citizens have to deal with spending a quarter of their daily hours in commuting everyday. However, a quirky incident brought to light the how much the city’s traffic really impacts the lives of the public.
The matter began when a techie, Arpit Arora, found himself stuck in traffic for hours and ended up feeling really hungry. Arora shared his experience on social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter, and said he felt frustrated with the situation.
As a result, he ended up ordering his dinner in traffic and in a ‘peak Bengaluru’ moment, his order got delivered in a span of just 10 minutes.
“Peak Bengaluru moment is when you are stuck in traffic for almost two hours so you order dinner from your car and it gets DELIVERED IN 10 MINUTES 😭😭(khana khatam lekin ye traffic nahi),” the post read.

One of the users talked about their own traffic experience in the city and said, “Reminds me of the day when I left a friend’s place in Whitefield at 6 and reached my hotel at 9:30. Crazy for my Chandigarh mind.”
Meanwhile, users also expressed appreciation for the quick service of online food delivery platforms. An individual commented, “Traffic makes you bored but at the same time a delicious food makes you feel good.... hatsoff to swiggy.” While another said, “Only in Bengaluru can your food outrun the traffic.”
