Ever since the video has been shared, it has gone viral with people drawing a comparison between the two metropolitan cities -- Bengaluru and Mumbai. “Bangalore guys used to laugh on Mumbai locals till the time they got their own public transport,” wrote ‘X’ user while uploading the video.

"Bangalore is the new Mumbai," an X user wrote. Another added, "Looks like Mumbai Local".

"Still lot safer than Mumbai locals...," a third user stated.

A fourth added, "The saddest part is, MUM-BLR people are busy making fun of each other for having poor quality of public transport. While both the cities (and many in India) have failed to elect a government which is focused on providing people facilities worth their taxes..."

"It’s a polished version of Mumbai local! The bottom line is that public infra needs more expansion and is always short of public requirement. By the time the conceived projects get delivered, we are already behind the overall requirement and people are left wanting for more!," another pointed.

Often touted as India's Silicon Valley, Bengaluru has seen rapid urbanisation and population growth, leading to increased pressure on its public transportation system.

Social media platforms are often flooded with videos showing long traffic jams in Bengaluru, which create problems for commuters on a regular basis.
