Yeah, India specifically - I’ve heard horror stories about the traffic from my remote colleagues over in Bangalore

I lived in Bangalore/Bengaluru for 2 years. Like most westerners there I had a company car with a paid driver. My commute to the office was 6 or so miles. I remember several occasions when I decided to walk home instead of sitting in the endless traffic - and beating our driver to our house on foot. Most of the people who worked in my organization had over 3 hour long commute - one way!

Yeah that checks out from what I heard - I also doubt it’s taking into account how safe and, comparably, orderly and well paved our roads are when comparing it to ALL cities worldwide. Traffic here sucks, but we can also maintain a healthy dose of perspective.
