Bengaluru is infamous for its traffic woes. Often we hear stories about people stuck for hours in the city during peak traffic hours and auto drivers asking for higher fares due to the slow moving traffic. In another such incident, a man, who was travelling in an Uber in the city recently, was held up in traffic when he received an emergency alarm notification from the app asking whether everything is in order.

The notification from the cab service read, "Need help? Your vehicle has been stationary for a while. Please let us know if everything is OK."

Though the post is yet to gather more views and become viral, the incident is surely another 'Peak Bengaluru' moment.
