Well, in today’s world, the cab driving system is a prominent part of modern transportation, as cab drivers provide a convenient and affordable transportation option for millions of people who need to travel within a city or between cities. The system, however, everything has its own pros and cons.
As we all know, cab drivers pick up people at various points, transport them to their destination, ask for payment for their services, and continue this whole procedure the whole day.
However, sometimes things don’t go well, especially with the female passengers. Despite the fact that most drivers are trustworthy and responsible, some have a reputation for behaving unethically, which can cause numerous problems.
Recently, this unprofessional behavior has become a hot topic of discussion after a Rapido driver sent some weird and creepy text message to a woman after she provided her location over WhatsApp, marking yet another instance of incorrigible behavior by cab drivers and bike taxi aggregators against female clients.
The whole creepy exchange went viral on Twitter and somehow netizens forced the company to respond to it. So, here’s what happened:
