However, in another tweet, he informed that the driver cancelled within a minute.

“Huge respect for you also if you wait that long,” commented a user. “On a busy Sunday evening in cochin, As I was ferrying customers towards the drop location. I received an order where the pick up location was 11 km away. But it was 5 km away from the drops location, I accepted the ride. But sadly the customer cancelled it after 5 minutes,” another user shared.


“I’m one of Uber rider, sometimes you find a request ride 10 to 15 minutes away, then you sacrifice to pick only to end being paid a pinch. Uber need to form a criteria where such distant customers are alerted and in dieneed should be charged both for a pick up and a drop off,” another person working for Uber wrote. “That normally happens if the vehicle is hired and is coming to your location closeby. There may be no vehicles at your location. So assigned a vehicle coming towards u,” another netizen posted.
