Bengaluru, April 1: A couple from Hyderabad who used an Uber ride for a quick trip to Bengaluru was reportedly billed Rs 1 crore. The man, Sriraj Nilesh, had used the aggregator app to book an autorickshaw for himself and his wife, Manasa, to go from Tin Factory, KR Puram, to Koramangala. They had anticipated paying over Rs 250 for the ride. However, they discovered that their bill was a whopping Rs 1 crore when they arrived at their destination and scanned the QR code to make the payment. Even the driver was shocked by such massive autorickshaw fare.
Sriraj told Times of India that when they contacted Uber after receiving the bill, the firm stated that the app was displaying an inflated cost because of a technical issue that hasn't been fixed yet.
