Uber Driver Turns Car Into ‘1 BHK', Internet Applauds His Hospitality
One of the most notable features of this cab ride was that it came with a Wi-Fi connection. The driver attached a board explaining that Wi-Fi was available inside the car for free.
The internet is full of stories about cab ride experiences, ranging from safety concerns and scams to hilarious anecdotes and even viral videos. These stories often highlight the difficulties encountered by passengers, the different behaviours of drivers and the significance of safety precautions. But recently, a woman's cab ride turned out to be one of her best commuting experiences as it felt like travelling in a '1 BHK.'
Taking to X, a woman dropped a couple of inside pictures from her cab, booked on Uber, which came so well-equipped, she compared it to living in a one-bedroom apartment. 'Literally travelling in a 1bhk today. Hands down the coolest Uber ride ever," she wrote in the caption.
The snapshots highlighted a well-organised structure inside a car with shelves and holders mounted to the backs of the front seats. The driver had loaded the vehicle with a variety of cold drinks, water bottles, snacks such as chips, toys, basic medicines and even a trashcan, providing passengers with a homelike experience during their ride.
Notably, the driver had also put some medicines like Digene, Disprin, Citrizine, Dolo 650 and Otrivin for motion sickness or other emergencies. Another section was set aside for tissues, umbrellas, and even a packet of ready-to-eat munchies.
Another picture showcased a donation box attached to the car's roof for children's education. Also, it had several facilities like shoe polish, hair oil, cream and a portable fan. One of the most notable features of this cab ride was that it came with a Wi-Fi connection. Yes! You read that right. The driver attached a board explaining that Wi-Fi was available inside the car for free. The password was written clearly for passengers, adding another layer of hospitality to the ride.
Abdul Qadeer, the Uber driver, had also left a feedback log requesting passengers to share their experiences in the book and on the Uber app. Above the driver's seat, a newspaper piece showcasing Abdul's work as an exceptional Uber driver was prominently displayed.

The post instantly went viral on social media, prompting several reactions from them. An X user wrote, 'You're not paying him the fare, you're paying him the rent." Another one wrote, 'That shoe polish is an incredible idea." One of them shared, 'It looks like a full-on house. It is a clear-cut reflection of how good a driver must be. 5-star ratings for him."
Travelling in a car with such amenities offers a whole lot of comfort and flexibility while moving.

Now book a Motorhome with TV, refrigerator and more features on your Uber app: Details
Uber India has significantly widened the reach of its Intercity service, now covering over 3,000 routes that connect cities across India, a jump of roughly 50 percent compared to its previous network. This expansion comes as outstation road travel continues to gain popularity, supported by India's rapidly improving highway infrastructure. MG M9 first drive review: More than just a fancy box on wheels? To complement this growth, the company is rolling out a special, time-limited Motorhome experience in the Delhi-NCR region . Available for rides from August 7 to September 6, with bookings starting August 4 via the Uber app, these Motorhomes will have a dedicated icon for easier access. Designed for 4–5 passengers, each vehicle comes equipped with comfort-focused amenities including a television, mini-fridge, microwave, and onboard lavatories . A driver and an assistant will accompany the trip, aiming to provide passengers with a relaxed and convenient long-distance travel experience. Standard Intercity features like advance booking through Uber Reserve, live tracking, mid-trip stop additions, and 24x7 support remain part of the package. Uber reports that its Intercity segment has enjoyed consistent year-on-year growth, fueled by both leisure and essential travel. Over the last year, popular city pairs have included Mumbai–Pune, Delhi–Agra, Bengaluru–Mysore, Lucknow–Kanpur, and Ahmedabad–Vadodara. Travel demand typically spikes during long weekends, festive seasons such as Diwali, Holi, Eid, and India's peak wedding months. Fridays emerge as the most common travel day, with early mornings and the 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. window seeing the highest departures when traffic is lighter. While round trips are frequently booked for vacations, religious visits, and events, one-way rides are largely tied to business travel, family visits, and airport or railway station transfers. This Motorhome project is being positioned as a pilot program, allowing Uber to gauge customer interest in premium long-distance travel solutions while introducing a new layer of comfort to intercity mobility. Speaking about the stellar growth of Uber Intercity, Shweta Mantri, Head of Rider Verticals, Uber India and South Asia said, 'More and more people are choosing to hit the road for quick getaways, family visits, or even business meetings, and they want travel that's easy, reliable, and comfortable. That's exactly what Uber Intercity offers, and with the expansion of routes we're doubling down on transforming outstation road travel for millions.'

Uber Intercity grows to 3,000 routes; unveils premium Motorhomes service
Uber adds 1,000 new routes in intercity push; pilot of luxury Motorhomes to offer TV, lavatory, and mini-fridge for premium getaways starting August 7 Udisha Srivastav New Delhi Uber has expanded its Intercity services across India by nearly 50 per cent, now covering over 3,000 point-to-point routes. Company executives expect this growth trajectory to continue in the next calendar year as demand for intercity travel picks up. "We are growing roughly in the range of 40 to 50 per cent year-on-year. I think that's the kind of growth we continue to anticipate for the years to come, and hopefully even break that record," said Shweta Mantri, head of rider verticals at Uber India and South Asia, speaking on the sidelines of a company event in New Delhi on Thursday. Among the most travelled Intercity corridors over the past year were Mumbai–Pune, Delhi–Agra, Bangalore–Mysore, Lucknow–Kanpur, and Ahmedabad–Vadodara—especially around long weekends and holidays. Fridays emerged as the most preferred departure day, with travellers choosing early morning hours or the mid-afternoon lull (2 PM–3 PM) to beat traffic. To further accelerate adoption of Intercity services, Uber announced the pilot of a premium offering—Motorhomes—in Delhi's National Capital Region. The one-month pilot, starting August 7, is aimed at travellers seeking luxury and comfort for short getaways. Bookings for Motorhomes will open on August 4 and can be made through the Uber Intercity or Uber Reserve options. The vehicle can accommodate four to five riders and comes equipped with premium amenities including a television, lavatory, microwave, and mini-refrigerator—effectively creating a private lounge-on-wheels. "Our objective is to bring this elevated experience to life for our consumers, see how the pilot goes, what the demand is, and other factors," said Mantri. She noted that given the nature of the offering, pricing will be higher than Uber's regular services. The pilot coincides with the onset of India's festive season and a string of long weekends—periods during which rider interest typically spikes. Uber expects strong demand around Diwali, Holi, Eid, and the summer wedding season. With Intercity travel on the rise and premium services being tested, Uber aims to enhance its platform with both scale and variety, catering to budget-conscious travellers and those seeking curated experiences.
