Internet users were much amused by the suggestion, but some users also wrote that it would never work in traffic as chaotic as Bengaluru.
Bengaluru is infamous for its traffic and hours-long traffic jams. The IT city was among the two Indian cities that were named among the world's ten worst traffic-hit cities in 2023. The same year, it was also named the second most congested city in the world. Rapid urbanisation, poor planning, and limited public transport options are just some reasons why people find the city's roads choked daily during peak rush hours. In the face of this, a Bengaluru-based entrepreneur has suggested borrowing an idea from China to help residents deal with daily traffic snarls.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), user Paras Chopra shared a screenshot of a news article describing how, in Beijing, commuters stuck in traffic jams can call for a "rescue". The article explains that in Beijing, you can pay someone $60 to rescue you from traffic. "They pick you up on a motorbike and someone else drives your car to its destination," the article read.
Sharing the screenshot, Mr Chopra wrote, "Bangalore founders, drop that saas idea and build this instead."
