The traffic jams caused significant delays for thousands of commuters, with many spending hours stuck on the roads. Passengers reported frustration and exhaustion, with some resorting to walking to their bus stops to avoid missing their rides. The lack of proper bus shelters and designated bus bays exacerbated the situation, as buses stopping to pick up passengers created further bottlenecks. Additionally, waterlogging from the rain and ongoing roadworks by NHAI and K-Ride contributed to the gridlock, particularly on Hosur Road near Chandapura.
