“My Uber Moto driver is an ex-Googler, who moved to Bangalore 20 days ago from Hyderabad. He is just doing this to explore the city it seems,” Dua wrote as he shared a short video that shows him riding on a bike with the ex-Googler.

Take a look at this video:

“A conversation to remember,” posted an X user. “Peak Bangalore moment,” added another, referencing the phrase used to describe attention-grabbing incidents from the city that often surprise people.

“Yes, I have also experienced something similar,” commented a third. “That's truly fascinating! I hope you had an interesting conversation during your ride!” expressed a fourth. “True, I met a 53-year-old ex-bank manager from Visakhapatnam who is now living in Delhi to meet people by riding Rapido. He wants to explore all the places in the city and make a documentary on it, tough guy,” wrote a fifth.
