A cab driver in Bengaluru engaged in a heated argument with a female passenger over the drop location. In a video making rounds on social media, the two were spotted confronting each other. It all started after the woman, seated in the backseat, asked the driver to take a right turn at a particular junction. The cab owner patiently said that he was just following the route displayed on the Rapido app. The passenger, on the other hand, was checking the navigation from her phone and it perhaps showed a right turn.
“Maine bola aap right lo, aur aap chillane lage (I just asked you to take a right, and you started shouting),” the woman said in a video dropped on X. The driver, however, refused to follow her instructions, citing traffic rules.
“I just said aap wait karo, main aapko location par drop kar dunga. Idhar centre mein right nahi hai (I just told you to wait. I’ll drop you at your location. There’s no right turn here at the centre of the road),” he replied. The woman appeared to be in no mood to give. She continued to argue with him while anxiously looking at her phone.
The driver tried to pacify the situation and asked the passenger to remain calm. “Aap ro rahe ho, mujhe problem kar dega toh (You are getting upset without any reason and making it difficult),” he was heard saying in the clip. His efforts went in vain as the woman further insisted, “Maine bas bola main road par le lo (I just asked you to get it to the main road).”
Kalesh broke out b/w a cab driver and a woman in Bengaluru over a route dispute. The kalesh began when the driver, following the navigation instructions on the Rapido app, refused to take a right turn at a particular junction because there was no right turn allowed at that point pic.twitter.com/oVeMn8yETx– Ghar ke kalesh (@gharkekalesh) February 3, 2025
After the video surfaced on the microblogging site, many viewers showed their support for the cab driver. One of them commented, “If there’s no right turn allowed, how’s it the driver’s fault? People fight over anything these days.”
Echoing the same sentiment, another said, “Cab driver is right here and he is trying to make the girl understand what’s right, that too in a kind way but the girl just is not understanding at all. Rapido uses Google Maps for navigation so it’s highly unlikely the map would show incorrect directions.”
One user felt the woman supposedly had ‘anxiety issues’ and lauded the cab driver for “being so calm and trying to explain every bit.” “Misunderstandings can cause a lot of tension. It’s unfortunate how a small route dispute can turn into a big argument,” added another user. The video has amassed over 90,000 views since being shared on X.
