New trend of Uber drivers | "Where do you want to go?"

HTC · 22nd May 2023, 00:37

Let me share my experience today. I had to accompany my neighbor to apollo hospital on BG road. Once his mom was atteneded by doctors, i took leave and came to hospital back gate.

After trying almost 1 hour to book Ola/Uber, realized it was a futile effort. I would have walked home if it wasn't raining. Then I saw a lone yulu bike parked nearby. Downloaded the app and installed it. Went to the yulu bike and scanned the QR code and bike came to life. Happily rode it home. Meanwhile, my phone battery was dead. Parked the bike outside home, went home and charged my mobile. Then searched the nearest yulu zone which was a KM away from my place. Went there and parked the bike. Damage to wallet was 80/- for 45mins, ola/uber auto's were showing 100/-, uber-go was showing 230/-, some random auto guy demanded 150/- to drop to JP ngr metro station which was 4kms away from JP nagar metro.

I was wondering what is the whole point of cabs if they are not available when we really need them. Imagine if it was an emergency situation.
