In hurry to catch flight, man forgets to pay cabbie; driver’s response wins hearts

Singh said the driver even refused to disclose the amount that was due. They eventually paid him and “learnt decency exists”, he shared.

The soft spoken cab driver dropped us at Delhi airport. We walked off without paying. Desperately called to ask how to pay & he replied, ‘Koi baat nahi, phir kabhi aa jayenge’. Won’t even tell the amount. He knew we don’t live here. We eventually paid him & learnt decency exists.

“I also experience that many cab drivers are very very good in nature and very polite… we must have an option to book the same driver again and again. it will encourage other drivers to well behave,” a third person said.
