A netizen shared his “Peak Bengaluru” moment when he could not catch a train in the Majestic Railway Station owing to prior commitments. “I was supposed to board Prashanti express at 1:40 pm from SBC station and due to some work commitments I started by 12:50 from Marathalli. The distance was 17 kms and due to traffic I couldn't make it on time,” Adil Hussain, an E-Commerce enthusiast shared on X.
Had a #peakBengaluru experience some days back.

However an auto driver noticed his struggles and made him an offer. “An auto driver caught up with me and said don’t worry. He said I can help you board the train in the next station which is 27 kms away (Yelhanka junction). I was sceptical however he was confident that he can and asked to only pay him if I am able to catch the train. I had my friend with me and he asked for 2500 for both. By this time it was already 1:50 and the Yelahanka stop was at 2:20pm,” Adil added.
Adil recounted having an experience of a lifetime over the next half-an-hour. He wondered about whether this gig is more rewarding than a usual corporate job. “The next 25 min we experienced the most crazy auto drive ever. The driver zoomed past traffic and took as many shortcuts as possible . He even waved past some of his friends who were in the same pursuit to catch the train for some other passengers like us. We reached the station comfortably by 2:15 and had 5 more minutes while the train reached. Thanks to this guy we saved a lot of money. Also a thought occurred. This is such a good example of ‘Opportunity in disaster’,” he mentioned.
