Numerous commuters reported significant delays in reaching their destinations. One individual, stranded on a South Delhi route, mentioned to NDTV that they managed to traverse only 2 kilometers in half an hour. Another commuter, commuting from Gurugram to Delhi, endured a journey of 2.5 hours to reach her office in Greater Kailash, a trip typically completed in 1.5 hours.
