Google Maps to be blamed? Netizens share mixed reaction
He suggested that he missed his flights due to inaccurate travel time displayed on Google Maps. And, many netizens were soon seen agreeing with Kacholia. One of the replies to his post, read, "Recently, Google predictions have become quite unreliable. Always ask to a local if weather condition is not good in any part of the city." However, some didn't want the blame to go on the app and they asked him to have considered the travel duration properly. They said, "I think bangalore is the only place, where u can't rely the travel time shown on Google map. Rarely happened in Gurgaon."
Further in his post, he compared the two cities and preferred Mumbai and its infrastructure better. "Deeply grateful to Mumbai administration @mybmc for investing in infrastructure to keep traffic moving in maximum city," he wrote in praise of Mumbai.
