A shocking video capturing an endless queue of passengers waiting for cabs at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport has taken social media by storm, revealing what many are calling a transportation nightmare.
The Viral Footage That Exposed the Crisis
The now-viral video shows a massive, snaking line of weary travelers stretching across the airport premises, with some passengers reportedly waiting for up to two hours just to secure a cab. The footage has sparked widespread outrage among netizens who have experienced similar situations.
Social Media Erupts in Anger
As the video gained traction across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, frustrated passengers began sharing their own horror stories. Many described the situation as "complete chaos" and "unacceptable" for an international airport serving India's tech capital.
One user commented, "This is becoming a regular scene at Bengaluru airport. Paid premium for flight but getting worst experience at ground transportation." Another added, "Two-hour wait after a long flight is absolutely exhausting. The airport authorities need to address this immediately."
Peak Hours and Infrastructure Challenges
Sources indicate that the situation becomes particularly dire during:
- Late night arrivals when metro services are unavailable
- Early morning hours when multiple flights land simultaneously
- Weekend evenings when both business and leisure travelers converge
What's Causing the Massive Delays?
Industry experts point to several factors contributing to the transportation gridlock:
- Increased passenger traffic post-pandemic with record-breaking numbers
- Inadequate cab availability during odd hours
- Infrastructure gaps in handling peak-hour crowds
- Limited public transportation options during late nights
The situation has raised serious questions about Bengaluru's preparedness to handle its growing status as a major international hub, especially considering the city's ongoing infrastructure challenges and traffic woes.
