At one point, the woman was seen handing over her phone to the driver when her mother called. He informed her that her daughter is on the way and even shared his live location to keep the parent updated. After the call, the woman remarked that her mother would scold her for being out late, to which the driver replied playfully, “She should. You’re acting like a spoiled brat.” During the ride, the woman thanked him for helping her, but he downplayed it, saying, “It is my duty, no need to thank me. It’s my job. I take money for this.” The footage also shows him helping her at the end of the ride, ensuring she gets home safely.
