It’s absurd though that ride-sharing via cars is not allowed+possible in Bangalore. During peak commute times, most cars have a single occupant and I’m sure most of them would be willing to share a seat, even for free (I being one of them)

Ghatiya Joke. Rapido driver earns as much as a labourer.
Logon ki madad karna pasand hai… Ye sab bakaiti sirf kitabon me kaam aati hai. Finally insan ko roti kapada makan chahiye hi…aur aaj jaroorat is se 10 Guna badh chuki hai.
