A heartwarming encounter with a female Rapido bike rider.

Smriti Sahu from Delhi posted on LinkedIn about a heartwarming encounter with the female driver of Rapido. Since then, the post has garnered much traction and even prompted a response from the app-based ride-hailing aggregator. Sahu had just wrapped up an office shopping trip when she booked a ride. Noticing that her Rapido driver was a woman, she cancelled her Uber ride and chose to go ahead with Rapido instead. She wrote in her post, “Honestly, it was the best decision ever because she was absolutely entertaining. Such a jolly person! But what truly surprised me was her life story. She wasn’t just talking for the sake of it, I could tell she had been through some tough times simply by the way she appreciated every little happy moment in her life.”

Smriti Sahu said that the woman ensured her comfort.

She further wrote in the post that throughout the 35-minute journey on the driver’s “Kali Activa,” the woman ensured Sahu’s comfort. She added, “She was also so comforting, asking, ‘Ma’am, zyada tez toh nahi chala rahi na (Ma’am, am I riding too fast)?’ and ‘Aap araam se toh baithe ho na (Are you seated comfortably)?’ I didn’t even realise how 35 minutes flew by! The best part? She’s a chef, but she loves riding her scooty, so she joined Rapido! Such a pookie.” Rapido responded to the post, promising that the woman would be acknowledged for her kindness and service.
