Bengaluru’s pleasant weather is often counted among the biggest reasons people enjoy living in the city. However, for one Hyderabad techie, the experience has been overshadowed by Bengaluru’s notorious traffic.
After spending a week in the city, she said long travel times had left her frustrated and made her appreciate Hyderabad even more.
Taking to Instagram, Chetna Singh shared a video describing her experience of navigating Bengaluru and questioning whether good weather alone could make up for hours spent on the road. She went on to question the value of Bengaluru’s much-loved climate when commuting makes it difficult to step out and explore the city. “Bro, what am I supposed to do with the good weather? Should I make a pickle out of it when I can’t even go anywhere? I can’t step out, I can’t do anything! I mean, bro, I absolutely hate the traffic here,” she added. “And if the traffic conditions aren’t improving, then what am I supposed to do? Everything else is fine, but Hyderabad is far better than Bengaluru. The clip sparked reactions from social media users, many of whom appeared to understand her frustration over Bengaluru’s traffic. One user wrote, “Hyderabad wins this round.
Singh said that unless traffic conditions improve, Bengaluru’s weather does little to change her overall experience of the city. I mean, right now, I just like Hyderabad way better,” she said. Another remarked, “Good weather can’t fix traffic.” (Also read: Man compares Hyderabad and Bengaluru after 5 months, says one city wins on food, the other on weather )
