  "account": "An Instagram video has gone viral, bringing attention to the notorious traffic in Bengaluru and roasting the city's notorious gridlock. Traveller Priyankk shared his experience of travelling from Ahmedabad to Bengaluru, highlighting how the flight was just the warm-up before an even longer road commute. He joked that booking a trip to India's Silicon Valley essentially means packing for two separate journeys: the actual flight to the city and the traffic-choked trek from the airport to his final destination. Priyankk claimed that his flight from Ahmedabad to Bengaluru airport took less time than it did for him to reach his final destination from the airport. The viral clip resonated with frequent flyers and local commuters, who found it deeply relatable to the city's crippling infrastructure bottlenecks. While the clip received some backlash, many users agreed with Priyankk's observations about Bengaluru's traffic woes.",
