One commentator said: “Hyderabad costs are as expensive as Bangalore. I have seen a lot of progress over the past year.”
A Pune resident had a different view: “Master, I live in Pune now and I just want to go back to Bangalore. The food and infrastructure here are too poor.”
Others talk about supply and demand. One user explained: “There is a reason people flock to Bangalore, and high demand always leads to high prices.”
A man from Gurgaon shared: “Sorry, boy, but Gurgaon is more expensive. The only thing that feels overestimated in Bengaluru is the automatic riding, the normal cab is the same everywhere.”
