I was born and raised in Mumbai too and shifted here 2 years back after marriage. I have had a hard time travelling in public transport due to language issues and in the 1 and half months I used bus, my bus broke down 4 times and I was left in the middle of the road and had to board a jam packed one. Thankfully I get company transport now! For all other travel I use Uber :) More often than not I have had good drivers but I too have waited more than 20 minutes a couple of times when the driver accepted the ride and later took his own time. Initial days Uber was quick to refund and take action on consumer complaints but nowadays I dont see that attitude. I was stuck in traffic on a rainy day when my Uber driver decided to take so called short cut and did not follow the map. It cost me nearly 300 rs more than the usual fare but Uber did not consider it! I wish public transport was more convenient here in terms of frequency and timings. maithilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13026338900563080890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-91460351291162677832017-03-26T04:44:42.688-07:002017-03-26T04:44:42.688-07:00Haha.... free too :)Haha.... free too :)Sujatha Sathyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448034391267400236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-44331721941758923122017-03-26T01:31:13.568-07:002017-03-26T01:31:13.568-07:00This is good marketing for Uber ! :D This is good marketing for Uber ! :D Anita Jeyan https://www.blogger.com/profile/05657647923285324813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-67717913513988526632017-03-26T00:22:48.088-07:002017-03-26T00:22:48.088-07:00Haha...imagined someone trying to stop u :)

"""""&q...Comment by Suraj<br /><br />""""""""Nice article. But the peak hour charge they put is too much. There should be some cap on it too. Auto's can charge max 1.5 time during night. That should be the limit.I have paid 4 times at 9:00 pm from office to home due to emergency. It really hurts the pocket. There should be some governing guidelines for them too."""""Sujatha Sathyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448034391267400236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-71427940241513399032017-03-24T19:27:40.699-07:002017-03-24T19:27:40.699-07:00Nicely written and made for a good reading.Nicely written and made for a good reading.KParthasarathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189924874350906456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635337067482720242.post-52225264881726185012017-03-24T16:42:28.214-07:002017-03-24T16:42:28.214-07:00We do use Uber a lot here and there is one more Ap...We do use Uber a lot here and there is one more App called Grab that does a similar service... I think it depends on the person as well....i cannot sit quiet when i have company especially strangers..... I have this irresistable need to engage in a conversation and its all the more merrier when the driver and co passengers reciprocate as well.
