To the man who waited for me till my cab came

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido. I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this. Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops. Have you faced such things in this city?

My friend booked an Uber cab and it wasn't moving. He sent a text asking for Phone Number in the app itself. She didn't give any number at first but then he started to spam the chat asking for phone number and she thought maybe he couldn't call her for some reason via Uber that's why asking for number. So she sent her number to the driver expecting a call from him. There was a warning about not sharing phone number in the chat which was ignored. Just after few secs of sharing the phone number, the ride was started without even her being in the car. She wondered how can an Uber start a ride without a pin as she needs to share the pin and she could see the car nowhere. When trying to cancel the ride, it showed that it would charge extra money and so she decided not to cancel it yet and tried to check other options to complain to Uber. The cab driver ended the trip and money was deducted automatically as she had online payment set up. Although she was successful to get the refund for the same on reporting it in Uber, I wanted to know how can someone start ride without the pin being shared? What did he do with the phone number ?

Have heard that they offer shared rides which costs as less as 400 rupees only to travel to Airport🙀

Lately there's a lot of negativity in general with layoffs, funding winter etc. PM as a function is one of the roles that's faced the brunt of it. So this post is just to share our appreciation towards any product based out of India that we used/using daily to just create a bit of positivity in this environment. Let me start with 1) Porter - Had to shift recently. Wonderful experience managing the whole process through the app. 2) Urbanclap - Seemless process from booking a house cleaning service till the final rating and closure of request. 3) Yulu - Was stranded in a metro station with no Auto or bike taxis accepting my ride of 2 km. This came in as a savior with the app guiding a first time user to use a bike without breaking sweat. Do share yours as well!

I’ve lived in north india all my life My uber rating never dropped below 4.8 😂 I’m in blr from past from and my rating is already 4.3 What I’m doing wrong 🥺

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!

Today was quite an eventful day for me. I was expecting a delivery, and when the delivery person arrived, I was just a few minutes away from home. I told him “I’m literally entering the society give me 5-10 mins” reached back within the promised time, only to see him driving away. I tried to call him, but he had the audacity to say “ab nhi milega saman, ab toh kal hi milega chahe jo karna hai karlo” he was hardly 20m away from my house when he said this. I contacted customer support, who initially promised delivery within an hour, but after two hours of no delivery i called them again and they informed me that the delivery was marked as attempted and could only happen the next day. Feeling upset, I asked to speak with a senior about the delivery person's behavior, but even that CS guy defended delivery partner’s action. The guy was so rude, and I wished I had recorded the conversation. However, I decided to check if BlinkIt had the product, and luckily, BlinkIt did and got it delivered to me in just 12 minutes, at the same price🎉. As for my Flipkart order, I won't cancel it, but I'll make sure to reschedule every time they attempt delivery. It might not change much, but i guess it would be my way to take revenge 🙂.

So I am a frequent Uber Shuttle user. I have travelled with the same driver a couple of times in the morning and very recently travelled with him for the first time in the evening while going back home. As soon as he saw me board the bus, he turned around and smiled at me with a lot of happiness in his eyes as if he had seen an old friend. It has been some time since this happened but I still remember his face and name since then since it is such a pleasant memory for me. Some people are truly pure souls and I hope there are more such people in our world. I for sure have learnt this from him.
