Bengaluru: A Reddit user on Sunday stated that he has decided to leave Bengaluru just three months after shifting to the city, citing the rising cost of living and poor infrastructure. While comparing the capital city of Karnataka to Hyderabad, the social media user stated that he was not able to save money due to high rent and costlier public transport. However, he pointed out that the weather has been amazing. While reacting to the post, several social media users stated that they have been struggling due to the rising costs too. However, some of the users also stated that the connectivity has improved in the past few years.
The social media user also pointed out that he had to travel 4 hours a day due to the poor connectivity. He also stated that Hyderabad has lower housing rent and better connectivity. "I am leaving Bengaluru after 3 months. Very, very expensive — I hardly get money left after paying rent, food and transport money monthly. Shifting to Kolkata or Hyderabad, getting more salary for similar job and very very low monthly rent and good public transport. Here no Rapido bike, no metro damn. Daily travel 4 hr for work. Thank you only — weather is amazing,” the user stated in his post.

Now people will have only two days to live life Saturday and Sunday. So go to tier2 city that your company provide. You will be able to save huge, have an amazing life and can reach office in 10 minutes," one of the social media users stated.
