"Didn't Even Know How To Ride Bicycle": Inspiring Story Of Ahmedabad Female Cab Driver Wins Hearts
NDTV
The Facebook user said he had seen women operating auto rickshaws before, but this was his first encounter with a female cab driver.
More often than not, cab and auto rides are routine affairs with nothing exceptional. However, once in a while, these rides turn out quite interesting for the riders. In one such instance, a Facebook user shared an inspiring story of a female cab driver in Ahmedabad. In his post, the user, Ojas Desai shared that he was in Ahmedabad when he booked an Ola cab and a female cab driver arrived to pick him up. He said he had seen women operating auto rickshaws before, but this was his first encounter with a female cab driver. As a result, he asked the woman why she drove a car, and her response as a cab driver moved the man to tears.
Sharing the photo of the cab driver, the man wrote, "Today in Ahmedabad, I booked an Ola Cab to reach the railway station. The confirmation message mentioned the name of the driver as Archna Patil. She is Archna. A remarkable lady. Driving an Ola Cab perhaps isn't so remarkable, but I was happy to see her driving so effortlessly and so well," Mr Desai wrote.
"To drive to Ahmedabad Railway Station through the old city and to negotiate through heavy and disciplined traffic is a task always. I was more than impressed. After all, this was my first instance of encountering a female driver in Ola or Uber. In my city, Surat, I have seen female auto drivers, but I have never used the services of a female driver in Ola or Uber. Nothing so remarkable, you may say. Well, the remarkable is her story," he added.
