Another wrote, “Imagine the pressure if she has to work on a damn motorbike. How insensitive are the employers. But if she is late due to her own accord then she is to be blamed”.
On a similar note, @souravbasuroy wrote, “Imagine the pressure, the feeling of lost in your own city where you work 10+hours a day, the disdain. All she required was a smooth traffic-less road where she could commute peacefully from her home and not account for the "extra" hour it takes to commute through a 5KM stretch”
A Twitter user maniekrishnan said, “Yesterday, I traveled from KR Puram to Hosur on the outer ring road via the Marathalli ,silk board route through Bommasandra and Hosur. The nightmare will never be forgotten, it took 2 hrs 45 minutes to reach Bommasandra.We Bangalorians are done. Metro is the only solace.”
