A second said, "Most of these problems, can be solved if most companies go fully remote. Employees can meet once a month or a quarter. At that time, the teams should do fun activities, meet with others and all." (Also Read: 'Build more metro lines': Netizens fume as Bengaluru traffic worsens)

A fourth commented, "Looks like your friend faced traffic even while walking. Typically 12 kms at a normal pace can be done in 120 - 140 mins."
"Time for people to think about location priorities and life priorities- Bangalore was never designed for such a large population- no matter how many extra people complain wouldn’t make a difference on ground reality," shared another.
