The daily grind of booking a cab or an auto is taxing. After waiting for what seems like a lifetime, if you’re lucky, you may finally get a ride. But even then there is no assurance of the driver showing up at your doorstep. You may have to undergo a number of questions ranging from “destination khan hai” to “payment cash mein hai”? Well, if you tick all the boxes that’s when your driver may agree to take you for a ride. Every day, we come across stories of people struggling to book cabs and autos online. Now, a similar incident has come to light from Bengaluru where a woman has shared why her driver cancelled her ride, and it was for a simple reason.
Ashi shared her experience on Twitter. She decided to book an Uber, and Bharath, a cab driver who was assigned to pick her up accepted the ride. However, even after accepting the trip, Ashi got rejected by him in the chat box. In the screenshot shared by her on social media platform, we can see the she text she received from the driver. It read, “Cancel this riide, im sleepy.” To this, Ashi simply wrote, “ok.”
Along with the screenshot, she wrote, “Tired after a day of hustling at Peak Bengaluru.” Within no time, her post went viral with over 2.9 lakh views. While some found it hilarious, others said it was relatable and shared their own experiences in the comment section.
One of the comments read, “I would have offered to drive instead.”

Sharing her experience, a user tweeted, “At least this guy was honest. There was this one time – on my way back from BLR [Bengaluru] airport, the cab guy just pulled over on ORR [Outer Ring Road] and said “madam, I can’t drive anymore – I’m sleepy”. It was around 3:30 AM, I was jet lagged and scared as hell.”

“The most irritating point of all this is why do they accept rides in first place? What’s so compelling asking rider to cancel?” mentioned a commuter.

This is very responsible on the drivers part.Was traveling from Hyd airport with mom at around 3am, the driver literally slept while driving on the narasimha rao expressway. Had to ask him to end the ride if he cannot drive.— Hamza Jamal (@iamhamzaj) January 26, 2023
