Taking to X, formerly Twitter, a man shared how his friend could not get any transport and had to walk almost 12 kilometres to reach home. 

''My friend walked 12Kms back home in Bangalore today. He wasn't getting any cabs/autos/rapido or anything else. Quality of life even for top 1% after having all the means is only hitting lows & lows in this city," read the caption of the post shared by X user named Tushar.
