A Twitter user highlighted a "peak Bengaluru" experience when he described a taxi ride to the airport as "the most inspiring experience" of his life. His Uber cab driver explained how he found purpose in his work after he rode a pregnant woman to hospitals for an emergency delivery.
In a Twitter thread, Sumit Meghani, the passenger, explained that while chatting with the driver, he found out that the man was the family's sole breadwinner and had been driving for 17 years. Meghani said that one night, despite cancelling a ride request, the Uber driver kept getting the same ride reassigned to him. When he arrived at the location, he found that it was a case of emergency baby delivery.
After rushing to a hospital, they found no doctors were on duty. They then travelled to another hospital just in time for the baby's birth. Then, the driver realised that his job was much more than just driving; it was to help those in need. "Let's take a moment to appreciate those who work hard to support their families and find purpose in our own work.", Meghani added in his tweet.
