Why are only Uber drivers so ruthless? And to the top of that Uber customer care or support doesn't do anything to support
their customers in such situations!
This happened to me on Saturday night.
I, with my parents, took a Uber at 12:20 AM from Gautam Nagar Delhi to Sector 21, Gurgaon. First of all, the driver was driving so slowly so that he can make some like 20 or 30 rupees extra. At Delhi-Jaipur highway, in midnight, one can easily drive a Swift Dzire at a speed of almost 80-90 kmph. But I had to say this to driver that 'Bhaiya thoda tej chla lo kitni raat ho rkhi h jaldi ghar phuchna h mummy papa thke huye hn'. Then he increased the speed to a handsome one. But again after some time, the same thing happened. I had to again say the same to the driver. He was just passing time, for example, he drank water from his bottle 8 times in this small journey so that ride time can increase. That's just disgusting. Isn't this irritating?
Ok, having said that, let me tell the major incident that happened to me after that. We deboarded Uber at 1:08 AM in front of our house. I had two phones with me(my mom's phone was also with me). I had put both of the phones on the dashboard of the car as I was sitting on the front seat besides of driver. I forgot to take the phones while deboarding. I paid off the bill and cab was gone. After 10 minutes of ending the trip, I came to know that I have forgotten both of the phones in the cab. I immediately called on my phone and then on my mother's phone. Both of the phones were connecting and ringing. I called on both of the phones for like 10-10 times. But the driver never picked up any of them. After 1:45 AM, both of the phones were switched off and after that none of them connected again.
I immediately visited the Uber website and hit on 'Lost Something' button and gave another number for a callback from Uber so that they can connect me to the driver as I didn't have the driver's number now. Moreover, Uber didn't even send me driver details on my mail when I booked the cab. Uber gave me call immediately and connected me to the driver in no seconds, but the driver never picked his own phone. After many tries, I dropped some emails to the grievance officer o[censored]ber telling him/her about the whole incident. And till now, I haven't got any reply from Uber regarding this issue. Moreover, Uber doesn't have any customer care number in India. So the only way you can reach out to them is via emails. Next day in the morning, I again tried to connect to the driver using Uber's 'Lost Something' functionality. This time, the driver picked up his phone. The driver said that he has no clue of my phones. He said that he met an accident in the night after dropping us and a biker got killed by his car. He started making stories. He said that he had the accident at 2:30 AM. Then how come he didn't pick up any of my phones which rang for almost 20 times till 1:45 AM? After that, he disconnected.
Now this has been done. After some hours, I again tried to connect to the driver by using 'Lost Something' functionality. But this time, what I see is that Uber disabled my account and I have no idea on what basis. Now I can't connect to the driver anyhow. Basically, all that is done in this case of mine is totally done by me single handed. I haven't got a single call from Uber although I have dropped so many emails to them regarding this case. Uber instead of helping me, disabled my account so that I can't see anything like History or anything for that matter.
Well done Uber. Thanks for torturing a customer energetically and financially as well. You must be happy now.
Don't worry I have lodged an FIR and that too with a solid approach, they'll handle it all.
You lost almost 10 customers for sure, my family members!!
