“I am not comfortable to ride with you people”: Bengaluru techie shares horrifying experience of Uber ride
An Uber driver was involved in a troubling incident that went viral on social media in this day and age of increasing reliance on ride-hailing services like Ola and Uber. The incident concerns a Google software engineer who claims the Uber driver verbally abused him and his friend before leaving them in the middle of their trip.
As per further information from the X handle of the passenger “First bad experience in Bangalore. Booked Uber. The estimated journey time was 1.5 hours. For the first 30 minutes, the driver constantly kept talking over his phone on a loudspeaker. I and my friend, got some headache after a while, and asked him politely to use headphones, or talk later. Guess what happened next. We were abused, and asked to get out of the car, saying “I am not comfortable to ride with you people”.”
Netizens have actively expressed their opinions about this.
An X user says, “Once I boarded an Uber 5 in the morning and that guy was on a call with his buddy for the entire trip. Who was he talking to at 5 in the morning”
Another X user said, “I had a similar experience during my internship. We were going to a creator meetup in an auto. We mistakenly made an incorrect turn and went 400m in the wrong direction. When we told the driver that we had taken the wrong turn, he literally made us to get off the auto in the middle of nowhere. The total distance of the ride was more than 10km and we told him that we will pay extra but he just didn’t care.”
Another X user tweeted “Uber does nothing on these kinds of complaints. I was threatened by the driver. I complained to Uber. I asked them what actions did you take against the driver. They said it is confidential, we can’t share the details of the action. ZERO transparency.”
