‘Peak Bengaluru Moment': Rapido Rider Learns Coding At Traffic Signal, Netizens Cheer For His Hard Work

Rapido Driver Viral Post: Sometimes the most inspiring moments appear in the middle of an ordinary day and one Bengaluru man just witnessed something that perfectly captures the city’s hustle. While waiting at a traffic signal during a late-night ride, X user Vaibhav Gupta noticed something unexpected about his Rapido driver. From behind, everything looked normal: the rider sitting on the bike, the phone glowing on the handlebars, the quiet of a Bengaluru evening. But the screen wasn’t playing a movie, music, or navigation. Instead, the rider was listening to a coding tutorial.

Curious, Gupta asked him about it and the rider’s reply surprised him even more. He shared that he was already a developer and was preparing for a job switch. Gupta posted the moment on X, writing, "Yesterday my @rapidobikeapp rider was listening to a Node.js tutorial. Upon asking, he told me he’s already a developer and is preparing for a switch. Crazy grind and a @peakbengaluru moment for me."

"Good hustle, recommend not to get distracted while driving. Both are at risk," wrote a third user.
