Bengaluru man gets same driver on both Ola, Uber, asks ‘how’s this even possible’

Peak Bengaluru: After a man booked rides on both Ola and Uber, he was surprised to find the same driver arriving to pick him up.

When booking a cab, many of us tend to check both Ola and Uber in order to save time and money. And if we are in a hurry, we often choose the ride that arrives first. Recently, a man booked a cab on both ride-hailing apps and was flabbergasted to find that he got the same driver for both rides. The man shared this incident on social media, and it has since received a lot of attention, with many people praising the cab driver for being a “true hustler”.
