Hey @Uber_Support @Uber @Uber_India. Was harassed this morning by my cab driver.

Got into the cab. Spoke loudly on loudspeaker and asked him to tone it down as I had calls to make. He then lifted his hands to hit me, and then abused me verbally and threatened to do something(1)

He then tried hitting me again cause I refused to listen to him abusing me. He then tried to speed away. I protected myself by pulling on the handbrake. God knows what would’ve happened if I didn’t. He then abused me in Hindi and Kannada. I managed to open the door and escape (2)

I’m sick of @Uber’s ways of dealing with this situation. An apology and refund doesn’t guarantee women’s safety at all. I’m scared and honestly shaken at this point. Broad daylight in Ulsoor and I luckily got away. What if? @BlrCityPolice Cab No: KA50A3135

I’m going to the police station only because I know @Uber_Support @Uber_India is not going to take any action. If they did, they would let the customer know as to what they did. Social media is the only resort to get some action taken, and I want this publicly shared.

I’m a disappointed customer, if that’s the screening you have for your driver partners. If I can’t book a cab safely without worrying for my life, no point in using your services anymore. @Uber @Uber_India

Adding this to show the pick up and the point where the altercation happened.

I’m waiting. And I’m waiting now @Uber @BlrCityPolice @blrcitytraffic

I need the cab guys phone number. The cops have asked for his phone number.
