I know we all hate the auto and cab situation in Pune, but it’s actually dangerous now. I’m visually impaired (blind in one eye), so I rely on Uber/Autos to get around. In the last week alone, it’s been absolute hell.

First, a driver abandoned me 600m from my drop because he wanted more cash and I couldn't navigate the rest easily. Another guy accepted a ride for ₹100, then forced me to pay ₹113 or he wouldn't let me leave. Third guy just abused me and cancelled when I refused to pay extra "meter" rates.

BUT the final straw? My mom (45) took a cab last night. Driver 'Ganesh' shows up completely WASTED. Drunk out of his mind, aggressive, at 9 PM.

I reported it with proof. Uber's response? "Sorry for the unprofessional behavior, we blocked him from your account."
Unprofessional?? He was drunk driving! And they just "blocked him from my account" so he can go kill someone else?

Oh, and for the extortion incident? They refunded me ₹50 in 'Uber Credits' which cannot even be used for Auto rides. Their email literally says "except Auto." They refunded a failed Auto ride with money I can't use for Autos. The audacity is insane.

Honestly, it’s just exhausting living here sometimes. Why does every single basic thing, like getting from point A to point B without being harassed, have to be a constant battle? You have to fight for the bare minimum every day. I’m moving to the US soon and I seriously cannot wait to be done with this daily stress of living in India.

Until then, I’m not letting this slide. I sent a formal Legal Notice to their Mumbai HQ today and filed a government grievance (NCH). I’m burning this down.

F*ck Uber, f*ck Keshav Kshirsagar and Baghtoy Rikshawala. Gonna get all of them to court now...

Uber in Pune is a total hazard (Drunk drivers & Extortion) and I’m taking them to court
