My Last Rapido (Never Again)

A man from Bangalore anonymously shared about his Rapido ride on Reddit. The user chose to take a Rapido bike for the office, a few weeks ago.

"I usually choose an auto, but the skyrocketing surcharges that morning led me to reconsider. The rider arrived, I hopped on, and off we went. About halfway to the office, we turned onto a narrow road when, suddenly, I saw a car about 30 meters ahead come to a dead stop. Without warning, the driver abruptly threw it into reverse, turning sharply right. Our bike had no time to react," the man wrote in the post.

The bike collided with the car and ended up being dragged on the road for a few meters. "As I hit the ground, pain shot through my knee like fire. I was disoriented, and the realization struck hard: I couldn¡¯t put weight on my leg. I felt a searing pain that forced a scream from my throat. Passersby came to my aid, helping me to the side of the road, where everything became a hazy blur. The Rapido rider, meanwhile, was yelling, gripping the car driver by the collar, and the two men were embroiled in a heated fight just a few feet away," the man further added.

After that, the Rapido driver suddenly vanished and left the customer in pain by the side of the road to suffer. The man was eventually taken to a hospital and was diagnosed with ligament tears in his knee and a sprained ankle. In the title of the post, the man swears to never take a Rapido ride ever again.
