Ref booking No CRN[protected]. dated 09 Apr 2016. I have booked the cab for 0645h for taking my son for JEE exam. After making numerous call the driver reported 25 minutes late. The cab was damaged and with a broken rear view mirror, Before starting the ride I had asked the driver whether he knows the destination (already given during booking), He affirmed positively but took us to an almost opposite direction . There in a busy market place he stopped the cab and started asking for directions(what about the hi fi GPS of Ola cabs !!!). On directed by the passerby he came to the right route but in between managed to take three wrong turns, Also the cab when reported was not having enough fuel so time was wasted again on filling gas, To compensate the delay caused by him he started driving at a break neck speed with scant regard to traffic rules and safety of his passengers, He made the trip so dangerous that we felt lucky to be alive when we came out of the cab, After all these harrowing experience when the invoice came, I was surprised to observe I was charged Rs 55 for waiting charges of 11 minutes, What a paradox ? I was waiting for the cab for 25 minutes from the scheduled time and got delayed by number of commissions and omissions of the OLA guy but I have been penalized for waiting for the driver !! What a black humour. !! Moreover I was also charged for all the distance mistakenly covered by the untrained driver !! Delay in reporting as well as demanding myself to reach the convenient location to driver rather than the pick up point was not new to me from OLA, But this incident was the worst of all. Only relief is that I am lucky to be alive to write after the OLA ride.
