An Uber driver set a new example of honesty for everyone.
Anant Jain let the world know about a Uber driver who set a unique example of honesty, something which you don’t encounter every day.
His story is something which most of us have experienced.
Anant had called for a Uber taxi for reaching the airport. After reaching the destination, the driver was unable to end the trip, owing to app’s failure. Anant knew it was a long trip and handed the driver a note of Rs 500/-, eventually forgetting about the incident.
But, the driver didn’t.
He made sure Anant got his change back after the app started working.
Here’s his story:
My wife and I took a Uber ride on 15th June 2016 from my grandparents’ house to the airport. On reaching the airport, the Uber App on the drivers phone stopped responding and he was unable to end the trip. After trying a few times he suggested that he pay me Rs. 300 and if there was a difference I could transfer it to his account at a later date. I did not want to owe him money so I gave him Rs. 500 as it was a fairly long ride. He took my phone number and assured me that he would return the difference as soon as the app started working.
Around 15 minutes later I got an email from Uber that the fare was Rs. 302.90. I was impressed at the calculation of my driver and assumed that he got a big tip that day. I was traveling abroad so my phone was switched off for the remainder of the trip.
On returning to Calcutta, I was pleasantly surprised when my Grandfather gave me Rs. 200 which Mr. Bidya, my uber driver had returned the next day. He had made the effort to come to the pickup point and enquire with the security guards as to who took a ride at around 9 pm the previous night. They went through the CCTV footage to identify us and saw my Grandfather seeing us off at the cab. The driver then went with security to return the money to my grandfather and explain the situation.
I am extremely impressed by the honesty and ethic of Mr. Bidya and want to congratulate Uber on having an extraordinary asset in their team.
Thank you, Mr. Bidya.

Mr. Bidya is a true hero!
Kudos to him for introducing an extraordinary level of honesty. 😀
