The man, known as @mr.bhasad on Instagram, shared a video showing his traffic-filled commute to the airport. In the video, he compares his journey to that of a passenger who had flown across 1,500 kilometres in just two hours. \"Bro, I am so fed up with Bengaluru airport,\" he said, \"I came here to pick someone up, and their flight was two hours long. How long did it take me in traffic? Two hours. Crossing three states from 1,500 kilometres away, I reached here in two hours, but I haven't been able to reach the airport, bro. I'm done with this city.\" The post has sparked a wave of comments from social media users who have shared their own experiences of long journeys to Bengaluru's airport.
