Bengaluru, notorious for its traffic congestion, witnesses commuters spending an average of 29 minutes and 10 seconds to cover a mere 10 kilometers. Social media platforms are flooded with videos showcasing people multitasking during their commutes, reflecting their attempts to optimize their time amid the gridlock.
Unconventional Commute
In a widely shared video, a woman is seen taking multitasking to unprecedented levels by participating in a work video call while riding a scooter. The footage, shared by user @Sun46982817Shan on X, depicts the woman on her scooter with a phone affixed to her handlebar, engrossed in what appears to be a professional video call. Notably, the woman has turned off her video feed during the call, indicating a level of caution.
Distinctive Bengaluru Setting
The video provides a glimpse of the chaotic traffic scenario in Bengaluru, as a lengthy queue of vehicles stretches down the road. The presence of vehicle number plates starting with KA 02 (associated with the Rajajinagar Regional Transport Office) strongly suggests that the video was indeed captured in Bengaluru.
Caption and Commentary
Accompanying the video is a Tamil caption that loosely translates to, “Works even on the road. What else can be done? Let’s check the signal. Why are you staring at me?” The caption adds a layer of humor to the unconventional scene, reflecting the city’s knack for quirky incidents amidst its traffic chaos.
