Let’s assume a Bangalorean started reading this article when he took a cab at Bengaluru’s Whitefield. There are 90% chances that by the time he finishes reading this article, sharing it with friends, commenting on the social media, eating his evening snack and swallowing all of that with a fizzy drink, the person would still be stuck in <keyword id="2998639" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Whitefield-traffic">Whitefield traffic</keyword>. 
 
This is not an odd day out and people of Bengaluru are bearing the brunt of the burgeoning traffic problem every minute. 
 
There are umpteen number of tweets, Facebook posts, threads on social media by people of Bengaluru who have missed their meetings, trains, flights, important function, cricket matches, etc because of the traffic. They say starting five minute early also makes no difference as they have to face chock-a-block traffic in any case. 
 
A glance at the stats will further reveal the grim situation. As per the data from Bengaluru’s RTO, the number of registered vehicles in the city went up from 55.59 lakh vehicles in 2015 to more than 60 lakh as of January 2016. 
 
This means, every month, 10% vehicles are getting added every day to the roads. Moreover, Bengaluru carries over 2.3 million riders daily and the average speeds is 18 kph, with which India’s Silicon Valley is counted among India’s slowest metros. 
 
The nerve wrecking situation is also because Bengaluru has a road density of 8.2 kilometre (km) per square km, the lowest among big Indian cities, and the scope of expansion is quite limited. In comparison, Delhi has a road density of 21.6 km per square km. 
 
Here are some tweets of daily passengers who live the horror every day and have gained our respect.

According to Nakamura, "the straw that broke the camel's back" ultimately got Whitfield fired was a letter he sent out last June to the school community, which accused Whitfield, the school's first Black principal, of teaching critical race theory. The letter, which was obtained by the <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2021/09/18/colleyville-principal-critical-race-theory/">Texas Tribune</a>, was in reaction to the wake of protest relating to the death of George Floyd. "Education is the key to stomping out ignorance, hate, and systemic racism," Whitfield wrote in the letter. "It's a necessary conduit to get 'liberty and justice for all.'"According to the Texas Tribune, Whitfield said he didn't initially receive negative feedback from the community.A year later, Stetson Clark, a former school board candidate at Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, accused Whitefield of teaching critical race theory at a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfnkBddvDQs">school board meeting</a>. "He is encouraging the disruption and destruction of our district," Clark told the crowd.According to the <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2021/11/10/colleyville-principal-critical-race-theory/">Texas Tribune</a>, Whitfield resigned and was placed on a two-year administrative leave in August 2021. Nakamura, who referred to Whitfield as a "total activist," claimed that teachers like him were taking schools down. "They have to be stopped now, we cannot have teachers such as these in our schools because they're just poison, and they're taking our schools down," Nakamura said.
