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?
Yea, this happens here but I think its a problem in every big city.
What bullshit. Dont comment if u don't know facts or haven't been to other big cities
What bs? Been to pune, mumbai and Hyderabad, faced this shii there too, don’t act like all cities are saints except Bengaluru, not defending Bengaluru but its not just in here
You shouldn't have taken the ride, now you encouraged him even more, that people are okay to pay 500 for even smaller distances if it's raining.
I had to reach anyways bro. What do I do?
I appreciate your loyalty to Uber but try on other apps too especially during monsoon times, I am sure you would have gotten a cab in less than what it cost you.
I always take 15 mins in my bucket before leaving for anyplace, getting a ride in banglore during peak office hours and monsoon is hectic but wayyyy better then convincing an Anna that you are looting us, they genuinely don't give a shit.
Auto drivers are very rude charge unnecessarily extra and later complain Ola and Uber is taking their market.
In mumbai you go by meter in Auto. So for 2KM we have to hardly pay 50 Rupees. But here in Bangalore I had to pay 160 rupees once for 2 km.
So I walk back from work everyday. I work at Razorpay so I live nearby and save on commute costs by walking.
Near Forum Mall, I have noticed that often times there are members of the trans community who force you to pay money to them...
Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good.
But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city.
Some cons:
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 complet...
Auto drivers are suffering, riders are suffering, company is in losses, shareholders are suffering. Who is winning ? Lol
Auto driver was harassing the person because he took rapido bike for his office. When will this stop in bengaluru why auto drivers consider them as don of Bengaluru?
Uber and Rapido didn’t respond to Metrolife. Ola refused to comment. Tanveer Pasha, president of Ola Uber Driver’s and Owner’s Association, said ride aggregators aren’t following the ‘one city, one fare’ structure.
Still, we don't have to deal with Auto drivers attitude and their random pricing. Ola, Uber, Rapido to the win! ...
