Technology is improving day by day and booking cabs online is one of its recent example. Booking a cab has now been the easiest and fastest way to travel from one place to another. When a rider considers hiring a cab, it is often a quicker way to reach to your destination, without wasting time which one usually does while waiting for public transport.
Availability of cabs online has been a huge complement for the commuters. It has certainly reduced the hassles, as it gives doorstep pick up. But these cab aggregators, along with the drivers, are in a constant rush to get as many bookings in a short-span of time. And sometimes, their drivers venture into acts which are unimaginable and beyond sanity!
Recently, a man in Mumbai booked an Uber cab, but little did he know that he was in for a surprise. The driver had apparently taken a bizarre route. The passenger, Hussain Shaikh, shared a screenshot of his Uber cab on Facebook, whose location showed that the cab was in the middle of the Arabian Sea. The man posted a humorous note on his Facebook account, “Aslam bhai submarine se aarele hai.”
