Sharing a picture, Schwenk 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 post soon gone viral on the social media with a few users asking him about his experience of taking an autorickshaw.

A user wrote, “Well, lucky you. Not everyone is fortunate enough to find an autorickshaw driver who agrees to take you to your destination.”

Another user wrote, “I would still sit in the S-Class and enjoy its rich comfort even with the traffic.”
