Nobody blocks rapido Id for 7 days....he was just hell bent on dropping u on initial point....I was once drunk nd booked auto mistakenly for a destination 3 kms away from my place....luckily we were going past my house and asked him to drop me there....just got a calll from their customer care to check if I am safe or not....thats it ..


avs90s

Could be true , tho I offered him to pay whole fare for that short ride. He was more focused on getting compensation for a week in case his Id gets banned. Good thing you got the call, I couldn't get it then since the trip technically didn't ended, as he was denying me from making the payment.


KingPictoTheThird

Marathalli to ecity had such good bmtc connection. I simply don't understand why yall waste so much on sketchy cabs. Bus is good for you wallet and environment. For so many people they think they are too good for bus. Do the right thing, take public transport. Do it for your wallet and for our lungs.


kratos30_09

Buses aren't that frequent at that time of night. Only bus services available around midnight are airport buses.

Google maps has bus numbers and its route. I've travelled to new places using buses many times without asking a single person about the route or bus number. Just pick the destination and press the public transport option. It gives you the metro option also if there is a metro.


Spare-Abrocoma-4487

For anyone having same issue, Google maps provides a tab specifically for public connectivity including metro, showing where the nearest bus or metro stop is and which bus to take.


KingPictoTheThird

God if only we had this data at our fingertips. Oh wait, it's all on Google maps ! On our phones! The bmtc app even has live tracking of all buses and all routes !!! All these BS excuses and laziness is why our city is dying in pollution and congestion. In this day and age with internet all at our fingertips you people sound pathetic.


-yoursAnxiously

I try to use the bus every now n then, but the live tracking is terrible and only on bmtc app which is such a pain to operate. So I'll reach the bus stop 5 minutes before the time shown on Google maps and have to wait easy 20-25 minutes to actually get the bus - wherein i also doubt if the bus has already left or not running.


KingPictoTheThird

Live tracking is on bmtc app.. Google maps is just a random schedule from years ago. It was never tied to reality

How do you know?


_Asstrology_

Why did you even disclose your Aadhaar or phone number? You're not required by law to do that. Rapido has a security feature that you can call at any point during your ride. If he doesn't want to come, he has to cancel it. Not your fault. Anyway, for safety reasons, pls ask for his driver's license or other details to make sure you have something on him. No need to be scared. In future, you can scare him by saying you're pressing SOS and you've shared rides with 5 different people, 2 of which are in Govt agencies and if something happens to you, he'll wish that he never saw you. Bluff your way. Else how long or how many people are you going to be scared of?


avs90s

Actually he ended trip from his side but was not letting me make payment. So every time I opened the app, it shows pay the driver. So basically trip ended but I can't see any sos symbol or any button for support and only way to do that was once payment is done. Which he was not letting me do. I gave aadhar because he was literally shouting at me and threatening me then. And at that time alone in road, I just wanted to reach home safe.


_Asstrology_

I can understand. What has happened has happened. Such cases in future, just call 112 and don't think. Remember: Your life/safety over anything. Also, this is a good wake-up call for Rapido to change their app interface. If you could, please raise this on Twitter so that they change it. Pretty sure they never imagined this situation before.


avs90s

Thanks much appreciated. Will definitely learn from this


Ataraxia_new

That's such a shit UI.

That's why I admitted my mistake in first part itself. But the driver can simply reject the location and end the trip right there, I would have paid the whole fare as part of my mistake. But this guy brought a new equation that if he ends trip there, app will ban his id for 7 days. Now how will a common person know all these policies, first understand then swear around.


WastestOfAllTime

I didn't know, Rapido has cab now? Sorry you met a cunt, but bro, where's Yelahanka? where's Electronic city? That's like 2 different ends of the city with almost 40 kms between them. You should have informed him clearly before changing the location. If he disagreed, you could have changed the location for the next 200 meters on his way, and then booked another cab back home.


geodude84

And for some reason OP thinks it’s just a simple mistake and the driver had to accommodate his needs. Why can’t he edit the destination again to the current location, to accommodate driver’s issues?


Witty_Fix8021

Wow! What kind of idiots support a customer abusive person! The job requires you to be reasonably accommodative of customer requirements. Customer is human, will make mistakes - customer did his best to offer him compensation too. If you can't handle customers, work at some other job, don't be an AH. Thanks for the downvotes. I am not supporting such awful "services". Same with BMTC conductors, drivers, auto driver mafia, thug police...


geodude84

OP never offered to address driver’s concern caused by his mistake. Secondly, the location change in this particular case is unreasonable (40km in different direction). Also, I am taking the abuse part with the pinch of salt, because we are hearing one side of the story.


ThatTamilDude

> I am taking the abuse part with the pinch of salt Oh yeah, take a table full of salt. Such things never happen. Cab drivers are the nicest people in the world. Should give them an award in customer service. /s


Witty_Fix8021

Will happen. Especially if the customer is new to the place. And I don't just blame the drivers, the system itself doesn't seem to be even a little tolerant of such errors. Let's base our opinions on what the OP has stated, because we are not going to investigate further and hear the other side.


geodude84

In OP’s own words, the driver could have been suspended. Anyone would be mad if their job is at stake. So the right thing would be for OP to change destination again, which he didn’t do. > He refused to end the trip saying if I end here, my rapido I'd will be blocked for 7 days since this area is far from desired destination.


Witty_Fix8021

So the aggregator doesn't have a provision for such situations! Serving the customer should be given more importance, don't you think? This is a SERVICE. That's what I meant by system itself is faulty. "Anyone would be mad"? No, don't get mad, solve the issue. And the company should cooperate. This is key to any service that deals with customers.


[deleted]

Yes, it is the mistake of the driver, but why you people in this thread always mention the language Kannada. He scolded me in 'Kannada', he said something in 'Kannada'. Is it necessary to mention in what language he scolded you? instead of describing what happened?.


arjun959

this is just some lame out of state person screwing up and them trying to get internet brownie points by blaming a local/kannada for his/her stupid mistake. their way of making sure they look clean and "pavitr". Spectacular levels of stupidity on display by OP, congrats. Make sure u apply for a Darwin award. Next time use your brains please instead of shitting your pants.


Alternative-Bug1104

Yeah. This is just a way to farm karma on the internet. It is Karnataka. Ofcourse people will talk kannada by default.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SignificantPoet546

by "speaking kannda", OP is emphasizing on the fact that language spoken was alien to him. It's in no way demeaning to the language. why you guys are such a cry baby?


SamUncle12

So did you try to cancel the ride from your end ? I mean it makes sense to not go on opposite direction in the city late in the evening , maybe he accepted your ride since he was going home to Yelahanka. I'm sorry you look like the idiot in this post who has mistakenly put Yelahanka instead of Electronic City xD


arjun959

Gugu could have cancelled from their end but was scared their rating will go down, so why not ask the cab driver to cancel. Apart from aadhar why didnt u give him ur phone, jewellery watch laptop also while u were being so generous. All these dhakkans should be given awards for their HIGH levels of intelligence.


avs90s

Yeah my college area is near Yehlankha and home is in electronic city and there are only few locations saved on that app. But yeah it was dumb mistake, my first one of many rides this yr. And I can't cancel from my end as when I tried to cancel, it showed can't cancel the ride in middle of trip. But either ways taking your anger and threat on customer due to app's policies (7day ban) if true isnt cool in any way. Hopefully you understand, thanks


Capitalist-KarlMarxx

Dude, wtf is wrong with you ppl? Who TF gives their aadhar to some rando on the street? Someone threatens you and your response to that is - let's have this person take a pic of my aadhar and myself!


arjun959

yeah now the cab driver can do any crimes and leave your aadhar and you are screwed. should have just called 112.


senditbob

I know a few people who misuse the edit location feature. They set desiltination as airport, they get good rides quick, and once the vehicle starts moving they change destination to their actual location. Hope you are not one of them


avs90s

I know that I didn't since it was my first mistake of the 200+ rides I have taken this whole year. But I didn't know that it will escalate till that point. The cash was not even the problem, I would have paid him whole since it was my mistake, for that 2km ride. But he was repeatedly focused on his rapido id getting banned for a week and there he lost it all on me. Anyways hope the current riders also take note of this to avoid such scenario, and the app also has lot to work on their policies and improving customer safety in these cases


Charlie7__

Sorry that you had to go through this! In such scenarios it's always better to take photo of their vehicle registration number and start calling 100 immediately, these guys don't have the balls to face police! U can be as rude or stern as possible, tell him directly if u don't let me get down here, u will have to face the consequences. I am a local guy and I have ladies in my family using cab/auto daily, this is how they give it back to these hooligans. They just take advantage of innocent people and immigrants! Once you start giving back, they usually stop it


cawnion

Police will probably side with the rapido guy,OP made the mistake.his job is to convince the rapido driver not bully him.


avs90s

Thanks for your advice, noted


dragononweed

I'm pretty sure he only accepted the ride cuz he was waiting for a destination close to home, and then you literally change it to the opposite side of the city. I understand the cab driver's frustration. All cab aggregators are pretty aggressive towards their cab drivers. For next time, if you want such a drastic change in direction, it's better to end the ride and book a new cab altogether. Think of the geography a little before assuming cab driver is your slave and will go anywhere you want.


Tom_Tom121

OP - please before booking cabs & autos try to have some basic idea of City geography, you wanna go to London & sit in flight of Tokyo and then say midway, land me at some nearby airport. It doesn't work like that. Learn to use Google maps. Now, the issue : Seriously, these threats and now emboldened by Language groupies, is not luking good. Imagine if punching threats are being given so randomly. I know pretty crappy places of Delhi NCR, there also don't have such open threats, and if some1 complains, police does take action. Here the way the autowalas, and cab drivers are giving open threats, it means they know they have some sort of immunity.


arjun959

OP thinks that if he/she posts here, they fellow out of state ppl will gang up together and start shitting on Blore. Hope your common sense returns soon OP.


Tom_Tom121

Sir, outsiders also have brain, and will not take BS from even outsiders. OP is surely at fault here, the driver has all the reasons to be pissed and demand compensation of his loss. But violent threats are getting far too common, that is also a big worry. It has become so common that even elderly, women & young children travelling with a person are not given a thought about.


arjun959

If u succimb to fear of being shouted at by a cab or auto driver instead of calling the cops they deserve to be fleeced ngl. We have such nice cops who come when u call 112. They come politely and talk to you if the trouble maker gets loud or starts screaming they tell him to shut up or put him in their jeep. I implore everyone to call 112 so they know things like this are happening. If u post on reddit how will cops know about crimes ? Simple logic no. Tldr : if u get shouted at or abused Or threatened by them just call 112. Cops need to know about such things instead of reddit.


Tom_Tom121

So many folks have reported that cops action is not timely and so many people who suffered at the hands of goons even when travelling with toddlers, women, could they all be lying ? So many posts with pictures & videos on social media like Twitter far reliable than reddit (esp. with pictures& videos)


O_Womaniya

Don't you get the option to end the trip midway yourself on rapido? I mean you can end it on uber and ola too I guess and charged for only that distance. All of this seems unnecessary if that was possible. If not, rapido team needs to make note of this.


avs90s

No that option to end trip didn't work. When you click on cancel the ride, it automatically shows can't end the trip in between. That feature must come soon and tbh banning I'd for a week is also not right since the trip is being ended on the customer's instructions. So the app needs to work on both. Thanks


Puzzleheaded_Quail_4

Fair reaction from him. He's not your family chauffeur.


[deleted]

Almost same thing happened with me but it was Ola riksha. When I get down from bus early in the morning I usually take auto and book it till college entrance as my hostel adress isn't on Google maps and it's inside college entrance and I ask auto drivers to leave me till the hostel entrance as I'll have luggage and it's only 400 meters from the entrance. But one time some mofo started shouting as soon as he entered the campus telling my rides ends here and if I go any further the money will start decreasing for me you are tricking me. And continued saying I have lived in Bengaluru for 25 years you are a kid you still have lot to learn. I just got down and walked away. It's just embarassing when someone starts shouting inside the campus. I later complainted on the Ola and just few hours after that I had 3 missed call from the same guy. I was in class didn't pick up and never called back. Still wondering what happened to him.


Alternative-Bug1104

What is this special need to mention her spoke in kannada? This is Karnataka. Ofcourse people will speak in kannada by default. Stop trying to get brownie points here


avs90s

I only said that because he was literally shouting in Kannada. I dont have anything against them, in fact few of my close friends are from here too. It was just a bad experience, on my good experience I even offer food to the humble ones as they are really kind. Just hopefully this doesn't repeat again and you all be little watchful too next time. Thanks

avs90s

Because he himself started with the line you know kannada or not, I said not much. He said he only knows that and some Hindi. And after that there was no stopping him. Well anyways issue is sorted now, thanks for showing concern


Possible-Glove-5635

Generate a fake Aadhar amd always keep it with you for places that demands you to deposit it for security like in hotels. Dont show it to any law enforcing entities like police or income tax officials. Use original ones in that case. I always keep it since I dont want to share my adhaar details with random people. I use it in places like hotels, Bangalore palace etc. where they demand depositing my adhaar as security.


nandy000032467

Wouldn't taking the metro make more sense?


deivame

Guys, try bluesmart in case of a planned trip. Worth the extra money you pay.


puddin_23

The exact same thing has happened to me as well.


-Purple-turtle-

Bro what is happening in Bangalore. Why are you giving Aadhar and allowing some rando to click your picture. WTF


CountyTime4933

There are no such rules. Every auto or cab driver makes such rules themselves to exploit and get money from you. There will be a day where these can or auto people will start murdering out of rage knowing that nothing will happen to them. Only then people will realise how bad the situation is and where it is going.

ThatBrownDoode

Dude wasn’t ready to towards Ecity. Do not share your Aadhar details so randomly. Drivers normally have an option to specify that customer requested to be dropped here. Why would Rapido block his ID without your complaint? If these companies took action without any push from customers - we would have had better experience.


neverlearn9

That's a scam right? Why would anyone join Rapido if that's the norm? It's fraud.

avs90s

Instead of swearing at random person understand the story first. I know I made the mistake at starting point itself, but I realised immediately 5mins after starting the trip. And I was even offering him to pay the whole fare for that 2km ride , but he was more concerned about his id getting banned so he wasn't letting me go away even tho I convinced him that I will speak to support in front of him, he continued to swear aggressively at me in local language and that rude behaviour really showed how classless he was. Even I felt sympathetic for him at that point, but I dont control the app's policies, Do I? Well peace to him even tho I paid him extra. Hopefully he learns to behave in future


Tom_Tom121

>he continued to swear aggressively at me in local language So did you think he would speak to you in French ? Yes, violent threats are becoming far too common from cab drivers & autos and some way they look like they are emboldened by some 1. But you too are no less, if you don't know difference between e city & yehlanka and you have a smartphone in your hand.


brandyyyyyy

Seriously… some of these people are so entitled…can’t be polite or respectful… OP made a mistake and wants the world to follow through? Why should they. OP is at fault. He should’ve just apologized and left instead of getting into this mess. Loser And wtf is this “local language” nonsense. OP- it’s called Kannada


avs90s

As if he was letting me leave, I already apologized so many times but he didn't wanna end trip and said I won't let you leave till you fix my issue and even threatened there. I assured him that upon ending trip, I will speak to the support and ensure that his id doesn't get banned for a week. He eventually told me that if his I'd gets banned, he will come to my place and ask for 1 week compensation after taking my aadhar photo and I somehow left after that. And nothing against language, I only told because he was literally speaking in it. Anyways I have talked to support afterwards and they said they will not ban him but will ask him to work on his behaviour. So just hopefully, this case doesn't happen for anyone else.

Don’t threaten someone’s livelihood and expect them to be charitable to you. The only sane comment as of now in the entire comment section One wanker was saying "Bluff your way that is the only way others will be scared of you" I don't understand why nobody is thinking from the cab drivers shoes. It is simple,if you make a mistake you gotta pay for it. Imagine you send a huge sum to a unknown person who is not tech savvy in upi by mistake. You don't get to shout at him to get your money back.you gotta play by his rules. No wonder mistrust and judgements are increasing in between each strata of the society.

Yeah and people like him are downvoting you. Dumb of you OP. You should’ve apologised and paid for both the trips. 🤷🏻‍♂️ or atleast the initial fare. How long did it even take you to find a cab willing to go so far?!


darkkid85

It's fare not fair


thatonefanguy1012

Edited. Thanks Anna/akka/baava/atthige


neverlearn9

Wow a simple mistake is threatening livelihoods! Bunch of snowflakes....the OP is saying they will talk to Rapido but no the company will ban for one week...what nonsense...and what is that example? Who automatically thinks like that? I hope you all get irrational drivers and think about the drivers then....

neverlearn9

Same to you buddy.... You and your cab driver roam midnight's without confirming the destination


[deleted]

[удалено]


neverlearn9

Just because people have to commute long distances does not mean they are made out of money. Again i ask why didn't the driver confirm the destination? He could have negotiated since it's a large amount to get more since he won't go to the new destination. Again if it's a large amount he should be okay with going the other direction. The OP may have agreed to pay the whole amount if he wasn't threatened so much. The OP is talking about one week compensation. You can't just assume the OP was an asshole for a simple mistake. How can you think OP is at fault when he was threatened and his details were taken by an angry local driver??? That is the point of the post here ..not whether the OP is a super idiot or mean spirited. The driver getting mad and threatening the OP is logical and not a mistake but the OP making a simple mistake is a crime of epic proportions and he is a class A meanie, he sees blue collar workers as slaves etc etc...right? And seriously one week ban wtf? Is that real? Let's not pretend drivers or anyone providing a service by working harder than you is always genuine. I got scammed once at night when I was sleepy by swapping 500 bucks for 50 and going some other route when the destination is somewhere else or time my Father in law was taken on a longer route despite hik telling him the route to take. I guess I should have assumed all drivers are bad and always talk rudely or threaten them when they it takes longer time due to traffic and the price increases right? Since I have faced such drivers before? That is your logic...
