Prakriti Sharma shared a dating tip on X, formerly Twitter, that has been winning hearts. "Try meeting earlier and commuting together to your favourite spot during peak traffic hours. This way, you’ll get to spend much more time together and you’ll also find out if they have any anger issues," she wrote.

Responding to the post, a user Protima Tiwary (@DumbbellsnDrama) commented, "This is my litmus test -- how are we together in traffic." Another user Ojasvi (@ojasvikhurana) added, "Carpooling apps have the potential of being a dating app but sadly they are banned."

There were also many who added their own twists to the idea.

But a few others also shared a few potential problems that may arise out of the situation.

"What a way to experience arranged marriage, when you figure out this person is so not for you.. but you are stuck at Silk Board," wrote Om Asnani (@om_asnani). Another user Anuj (@Anujology) said, "Then Banglore traffic will be a national breakup event. Technically a pandemic."
