The infamous Bengaluru traffic, which holds the city for long hours, peaked when a train found itself stuck in the middle of a busy road.

A viral video shows a train waiting at a railway crossing, which was wide open because of a hoard of vehicles on the tracks. The train, like other cars and bikes, was stuck in the Bengaluru traffic.

The video went viral on social media and highlighted how badly the city grapples with traffic issues. Instagram user Sudhir Chakravarthy shared a video showing a train stopped because vehicles were not moving on the road.

Chakravarthy, as quoted by Hindustan Times, said the viral video was shot on Tuesday, adding that the residents have to face the traffic every day.

“Station master: why did your train came late to station. Loco pilot: Bangalore city traffic, sir,” joked a user.

Another added cheekily: “We waited many times when you were crossing. Now it is your turn to wait till we cross.”

“Reason why Bangalore international airport is not in Bangalore,” said another user.

“Loco pilot wants to use Google map to take another traffic-less road,” another joked.

Online food delivery platform, Zomato, also jumped in the comment section and said, “So much traffic in Bengaluru and our delivery partners still deliver your food on time.”

A user also hoped that the video reaches officials, who could then take some action to help the communters from the area.

“This is Munnekolala railway crossing—Life is becoming very challenging in this area to cross this gate because four sides of the way are open just next to the gate. Any officials looking at this will be very helpful for Commuters,” the user said.
