A recent Reddit post from a Bengaluru resident, who spent nine months in the city, has set off an intense online discussion. His observations, comparing Bengaluru with metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad, drew both support and criticism.

While he commended the city for its pedestrian-friendly layout and superior coffee, he also pointed out severe traffic congestion and a surprising lack of Kannada in daily conversations.

Key takeaways from his post:

✅ India’s most pedestrian-accessible metropolis
✅ Second priciest rental market, trailing Mumbai
✅ Top salaries for Electronics & Automotive professionals
✅ Heaviest traffic but minimal road rage
✅ Slowest instant delivery services despite the highest availability
✅ Kannada spoken less in public than expected, second only to Gurgaon

Mixed reactions pour in

His take provoked a flurry of responses. Some users found his insights accurate, while others were skeptical. One user questioned whether Kannada was truly less audible than Marathi in Mumbai or Telugu in Hyderabad. Another doubted Bengaluru had fewer road rage incidents than other cities.

Curious netizens also probed his professional background, with one asking, “Which automobile firm do you work for?”

Bengaluru, with its unique blend of challenges and perks, remains a city that fuels passionate debates.
