A woman from Delhi had a great experience with a female driver during a ride with Rapido. Smriti Sahu shared her story in a post on LinkedIn. After shopping with a colleague, she booked a Rapido ride and was surprised to find that her driver, Pooja Tripathi, was a woman. Ms. Sahu had also ordered an Uber but decided to cancel it. She felt it was a great choice to ride with Ms. Tripathi, who was not only a driver but also a chef. The ride on Ms. Tripathi's scooter, called a “Kali Activa,” lasted 35 minutes and was filled with friendly conversation. Ms. Tripathi checked on Ms. Sahu's comfort during the ride, asking if she was okay and not going too fast. Smriti found Ms. Tripathi's positive energy and life story very inspiring. She shared a screenshot of Ms. Tripathi in her chef uniform, suggesting that Rapido should recognize her effort. The post went viral, with many users praising the story. Comments included remarks about the "good vibes" and the joy of such moments. In related news, Rapido's co-founder announced plans to launch a women-only bike taxi service called 'Bike Pink' in Karnataka. This service aims to create 25,000 jobs for women. It was first tested in Chennai last year, with future plans for expansion to Kolkata.
