With stories of sexual misconduct by a cab driving pouring in every day, one often losses hope. And just then, like a lamp in a dark room, something will happen that restores your faith in humanity.
In another such heartwarming incident, a cab driver – Santosh dropped Priyashmita Guha and her mother at their destination. It was 1AM when they reached their destination and unfortunately, the gate to their residence was shut.
Instead of leaving the place, Santosh chose to stay there and waited for 1.5 hrs until they got inside their house.
Expressing her gratitude, Priyashmita Guha took to Twitter to share her experience.
hey @Uber_India , wanted to tell you about your driver Santosh. Last night the place we were staying had it’s gate was closed. It was 1 AM. He refused to let us go & waited for 1.5 hours till we got in. Kudos to him. Mom and I eternally grateful pic.twitter.com/tIjz9n2A8O

Priyashmita also shared how he kept declining the next ride because he couldn’t leave them alone at night.
I know. He was like how can I leave 2 women and go. Another passenger was harassing him (next ride) and he was like I am sorry but I cannot leave them

Absolutely true. Uber must convey the accolades to him. It will convey the message that good deeds don’t go unnoticed.
