BENGALURU: Stuck in Bengaluru’s notorious traffic jam for hours and don’t know what to do? Why not order a pizza?
On Wednesday evening, the Outer Ring Road (ORR) witnessed a massive traffic jam between Marathalli and Sarjapur with motorists stuck for about four hours. That’s when a group of people who were stuck in their car decided to order pizzas.
A X user, Rishivaths (@rishivaths), whose bio says ‘Building design at Flipkart’, posted on the social media platform along with a video saying, “When we decided to order from @dominos during the Bangalore choke. They were kind enough to track our live location (a few metres away from our random location added in the traffic) and deliver to us in the traffic jam. #Bengaluru #bengalurutraffic #bangaloretraffic”.

In the video, a woman occupant of the car can be heard exclaiming as the pizza delivery agents arrive and say, “We’re geniuses, guys!” One of the delivery agents then comes over to the car and hands over the pizzas.
The video evoked numerous comments. Adi taday.eth/lens (@adityataday) said, “For this exceptional service they surly deserve a huge tip!” Vibin Babuurajan ????
