Internet is full of stories containing females complaining about male cab rivers and they make them feel uncomfortable. It seems like we have made the image of cabbies very dark and to see the other of this today we are sharing an incident which is winning hearts of everyone.
If we believe Twitter threads, an Uber cab driver named Santosh dropped off a mother-daughter duo at their destination at night. But he didn’t leave from the place for over an hour as the gate to their residence was closed and for some reason, they were not able to access it.
Twitter user Priyashmita Guha tweeted about this and soon the driver caught the attention of Internet users.
hey @Uber_India , wanted to tell you about your driver Santosh. Last night the place we were staying had it's gate was closed. It was 1 AM. He refused to let us go & waited for 1.5 hours till we got in. Kudos to him. Mom and I eternally grateful pic.twitter.com/tIjz9n2A8O

He even refused to pick up next passenger who had booked a trip because he felt that leaving two women alone in the middle of the night is not the right option.
I know. He was like how can I leave 2 women and go. Another passenger was harassing him (next ride) and he was like I am sorry but I cannot leave them

Uber must convey the accolades to him.
Absolutely true. Uber must convey the accolades to him. It will convey the message that good deeds don’t go unnoticed.

After knowing the whole thing, even Uber came to praise him.
The ability to truly go the extra mile and cater to one another in tough times is something that we are proud to recognize in #uberstar Santosh. Thanks for sharing. You made us smile, ear to ear! ????

We feel that in this world full of negativity, such stories need to be shared to maximum people as it gives a ray of hope to people who believe that everyone is bad. Having said that, respect to Santosh for this.
