'All rides cancelled on me': Uber driver demands extra cash from Swedish tourist; leaves him on highway
Content creator Jonas, who goes by @iamjonasax on Instagram, detailed the incident in a recent post while touring the country.
He wrote that after booking an Uber Intercity ride, things took a turn when the driver abruptly stopped in the middle of a busy highway and claimed the vehicle had broken down.
'Manish really wanted those rupees,' Jonas wrote in the caption, hinting the driver's motive.
He added, 'Called @uber_india, they sorted me out with not one, not two but three replacement rides, all canceled on me (I assume as I was on the highway).
Got home all well no thanks to Uber, with another story to tell.'
The post quickly gathered traction, drawing reactions from users who shared similar experiences or offered advice. 'I usually take screenshots of drivers whenever they accept the ride and if they cancel for any reason, I post complaints on Twitter,' one user commented.
Another suggested, 'You can file a complaint on Uber and they'll refund the money you spent and take action on the taxi driver for doing this cheap act.'
