A Bengaluru Uber auto driver has won praise online for helping a woman whose scooty broke down mid-road. The 10-15 minute act was recorded by a passenger and shared on Instagram.
Passenger Chetna Saraf posted the video, saying driver Tanzeem drove alongside the broken-down scooty, pushing it with his foot and hand until they reached a spot where she could get help. Saraf tagged Uber India and requested a raise for him.
Netizens applauded the gesture, with some saying such kindness is rare. The incident could not be independently verified by Live Mint.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The incident adds to Bengaluru's reputation for both civic challenges and spontaneous roadside assistance. Auto drivers in the city often face criticism for refusing fares or demanding extra money, making this story stand out. Uber's gig-worker model means Tanzeem is classified as a partner rather than an employee, so a 'raise' is not a straightforward HR process. The company's incentive structure for drivers is based on trip completion and ratings, not discretionary awards. Whether Uber responds publicly to the viral post will signal how it handles unsolicited goodwill stories about its drivers.
