The traffic in most cities across the country is intolerable and undoubtedly, public transport makes it easier to navigate the city.

He shared it with the public through social media.

Schwenk was travelling to his destination in Pune in a Mercedes S-class when he got stuck in the city's traffic. Instead of sulking about it in his car, Schwenk decided to get out of his vehicle and take public transport. He walked a few kilometres and took an auto-rickshaw. The CEO then took to Instagram to share his experience. He wrote, "If your S-class is stuck in traffic on the wonderful Pune roads - what do you do? Maybe getting off the car, start walking for a few KM’s and then grabbing a rickshaw?”

The CEO's post garnered a lot of attention. Netizens were truly impressed by the CEO's action. They appreciated Schwenk's practical thinking and quick action.

Many related to the post and spoke of how public transport was the best option for daily commuters. They highlighted that bylanes and small alleys made travelling quicker.
