{{/usCountry}}“Today, an Uber driver from Bangalore Airport refused to switch on the AC, saying Uber Go doesn’t come with AC. When I insisted, he switched it on and, at drop, was demanding additional AC charges. Never faced this in any other city!” posted an individual.

Another added, “I’m from Mumbai and visit Bengaluru occasionally, and I totally agree with your view about Uber India and autos. Both are a nightmare in Bengaluru.”
“I haven’t seen a change in the last ten years, not sure why the auto drivers ask more than the agreed price once the ride is completed. Almost 95% of the time it happens!” shared a third.
A fourth expressed, “Drivers always ask to cancel the drive and pay in cash!”
