The photo, reportedly taken in Ghatkopar East, showed a compact hanging basket with packaged drinking water and a collection of biscuits, all complimentary. Captioned “Customer travel experience at its peak!” the post triggered a wave of admiration and appreciation online.
The internet’s response was immediate and affectionate. “Hope he never faces a vehicle breakdown in his life,” one user wrote. Another chimed in, “I bumped into the same guy in Chembur! He says he distributes around 60 bottles and 20-30 biscuit packets daily. He even plays 2000s songs on a mini TV inside, it was such a fun ride!”
Many Redditors pledged to tip him generously or pay without haggling, calling his gesture a rare and pure form of service. One user pointed to the writing on the back of the seat that read “jan seva hi ishwar seva”, social service is service to God.
For Mumbai, a city always on the move, this small act of goodness has become a symbol of what one kind heart can do, even in the busiest corners of urban life.
