Have you been stranded in a traffice jam when going somewhere urgently

Tweet

Well this has happened to me when I was on my way to attend an interview in another city, I had started well in advance from home as there is usually a heavy traffic in a bridge which leads to the station, but when I reached the entrance of the bridge I could find a heavy traffic and all vehicles were just in a standstill. I waited for nearly half an hour and finally started walking across the pavement of the bridge with my luggage, when I reached the station I saw the train was in the verge of leaving the station. I jumped into some coach immediately and managed to board the train, it took me several hours to come out of this tension and was wondering if I had boarded the correct train too, Finally after confirming with the other passengers I was relieved and walked through the vestibule to reach my coach and seat. From then, I made it a point to reach several hours in advance to the station and I enjoyed to sit and view the scenes there. Have you ever come across a situation like this? How did you manage?
