When it comes to traveling around the city using the local cab services such as Careem and Uber, there are times when you may feel uncomfortable due to the certain reasons – be it the behavior of the captain or his car – regular users of cab services have encountered a difficult situation at least twice while using the local cab services.
Cab users usually take it on social media to protest or shed light on the difficult situations they experience while availing the services. Among the many incidents, the reoccurrence of the cab driver’s behavior calls the need of speculation and screening behavior they are hired as drivers.
This One Alarming Incident Which Took Place In Karachi Shows How the Cab Captains Can Be Extremely Shady and Something Needs to Be Done
Maryam from Karachi shared the following incident:
And This Is Where One Could Speculate How It Was Getting Shady
If It Were Me, I Would’ve Been Dead Scared…
Oh Damn!
And Here’s More
And As Suspected, It Was a Fraud
Maryam Shared the Details of the Captain As Well
Pretty Scary!
Makes All the Sense in the World
Honestly, if I were in her place, I would’ve been super scared. Maryam indeed handled the matter very sensibly but is that the point?
Cab services like Careem are functioning in Pakistan for a great period of time. There is a need to have a proper screening, investigative approach when it comes to hiring cab drivers. Their routes must be tracked, just like their total number of rides are tracked on daily basis.
A lot of people, especially students depend on the local private cab services – just as Maryam stated, there needs to be a proper screening process for the safety of consumers.
