Bengaluru: A viral video has captured the absurdity of Bengaluru's traffic congestion absurdity that can be both laughable and scornful.

In a truly bizarre and viral scene, a train has been caught in the middle of a traffic jam within the city. This remarkable Bengaluru viral video footage indicates the severity of the city's transportation challenges, highlighting how even the most massive and powerful vehicles can be brought to a standstill by the overwhelming volume of cars and bikes on the road.

The incident is said to be from Bengaluru’s Munnekolala railway gate, near Outer Ring Road, where a train was stopped because of the traffic congestion at the railway gate with a fleet of cars, buses, and trucks in the jam.

The viral video post also comes with a witty caption that reads, ‘Not just me or you. Even trains are not safe that they can't escape from Bengaluru traffic.’
