Auto driver slaps women

Auto driver slaps women- Grapevine

Bangalore’s auto rides are getting out of control, and today I got a front-row seat to this insane bullshit.

So, here I am, minding my business, booking an auto on Ola. The moment it arrives, I’m literally walking out the door, and this guy starts blowing up my phone like his life depends on it. He said in the rudest, most condescending tone, "Come da. I will cancel!". Excuse me? I’m not running a race here! 

Trying to keep things civil, I told him to go ahead and cancel if he’s in such a hurry. So, I did what any sane person would – I booked a Rapido.

A few minutes later, I step out, and guess who’s still hanging around at my gate? Yeah, Autowallah himself. But it doesn’t end there. The man blocks my path, shouting at me about how dare I book another ride while he was "waiting." I calmly remind him that he was the one who said he’d cancel.

He flips out, yelling about wasted time and fuel, and then, demands that I pay him the full fare. Not a penny was charged on the app, mind you, but now I’m supposed to cough up money for his bad attitude? The lauda-city.

At this point, I’m stuck between standing my ground or risking this lunatic escalating things even further. Feeling genuinely unsafe, I handed over the cash just to get out of there. But before he sped off, he delivered one final, lovely threat: "Don’t let this happen again. I know where you live."

Where’s the customer support when you need it? Nonexistent. Ola’s app is basically a black hole when it comes to reporting harassment or threats. If this is what we’re expected to tolerate, then consider me done with Ola.

So here’s the question: Why is it that we are expected to put up with this harassment? 
Why are there no immediate solutions to keep drivers in check? Ola, Rapido, whatever—it’s time to wake up and realize that passenger safety isn’t negotiable.

 if it can happen to me, it can happen to you. I tried making a video but he tried grabbing my phone. Sharing ss before that happened.

Harassed by an Auto Driver in Indiranagar

Bit of a rant and a solution. I have worked for close to 18 years now lived in various part of country like Noida, Pune, Hyderabad and off course Bangalore. Additionally lived in eu for 5+ years. I feel post return to India I see the population has in general become more uncivil and rowdy. With useless apps like Swiggy/zomato/ blink it there is a splurge of stupid drivers on street. Similar is situation with Uber/ola etc with them the density of village folks with no road sense have increased tremendously. They drive badly and threaten common folks at the blink of an eye even though they are probably driving on wrong side of the road. 

I feel common folks should be given gun license so we can protect ourselves as we have no other way left to save our family and kids from these animals

The recent incident of a Bengaluru auto driver arrested for abusing women is now being crowd funded to cover his legal fees. What a day to live in. Bengaluru never ceases to surprise.

Everyone knows the org behind this, faces are captured on cameras but still these culprits are roaming free. That’s how democracy works!

Hooliganism

This happened in Mumbai too but 10-15 years back. All new people registered their vote in Mumbai and killed this regional thinking. 
  
 All people who want bangalore to succeed. Register in bangalore and vote for right candidate. 
  
 Not a party which doles out cash for vote.

Apparently, the car was carrying a child and his mother and the child was ill. The ambulance driver overtook a car in traffic to rush to hospital. And these drunk idiots in the car chased him down, stopped the ambulance and trashed the ambulance driver. 

Not sure what happened next especially to the child who was seriously ill. Saw this post on reddit and it was just terrifying to watch.

An ambulance driver was beaten up in Bangalore because he overtook a car

Last year, I was travelling via the Metro towards Sikanderpur Station on the Yellow Line. As I was about to reach Qutub Minar station and the metro was as usual crowded. I had onboarded at Delhi Haat - INA, so no seat for me.

Suddenly the metro abruptly stopped and someone started screaming. The inertia was so much that people literally lost balance and fell over each other.

I am super confused because it almost felt like we got hit or something. The announcement speaker goes live and the metro driver asks "Haan kya problem hai?"

Then on the same line
Amidst this chaos we heard the announcement speaker. It was the driver. He asked, “Haan kya problem hai?”

Then we all heard some lady say that Ladies Coach mei AC nahi chal rha. Man, I wanted to give that woman a tight slap right across her face.

On the next station the station security was ready and the woman was apprehended.

I realized that day that most people in this country are so dumb that they don't deserve first world amenities and services. Also, dimaag nahi hai zara sa but Confidence ho toh aisa.

What do you think about people who act so entitled on Delhi metro?

Picture: Peaceful day in the metro when I finally got a seat.

I know this isn’t the right platform, but i need to confirm. If we give bad ratings comments on rapido, do the drivers harass us?
I read some reviews on reddit and quora that rapido drivers call back and threaten the people who gave them bad ratings. Is this for real?

Damn, let me tell you how Ola has messed up the auto rickshaw industry! They came in acting all fancy, promising convenience and fair prices. But what do we get? Overcharging like crazy! Their surge pricing during peak hours is a complete rip-off. They take advantage of our desperation and squeeze every penny out of us. And who suffers the most? The hardworking folks who rely on auto rickshaws every day.

But it doesn't stop there. Ola's profiteering tactics have destroyed the earning potential of auto rickshaw drivers. They used to have control over their fares and make a decent living. Now, Ola dictates the prices and leaves the drivers scraping for scraps. It's just not fair! They've disrupted the whole system, and not in a good way. The drivers are struggling, and we passengers are getting ripped off left and right. Ola, you've turned a once reliable and affordable mode of transportation into a nightmare. Shame on you!

Ola didn't disrupt , it destroyed

Auto drivers are suffering, riders are suffering, company is in losses, shareholders are suffering. Who is winning ? Lol
