I have used uber cabs 3-4 times. firstly, on my 1st ride I had 200 off. so I thought to try it. my college was in vidyavihar so I thought to go by cab from home to dn nagar metro station, and by metro thereafter. I used estimate fare option on the app and it showed 150-170 rs from home to metro station. so decided to go by cab. I booked a day before. next day before 1/2 hour of ride time, got a sms regarding cab details and confirmation. cab was xylo. I was alone in this monster huge car. felt great. it came on time. driver behaviour was very good. I reached destination & fare was 183 rs, so dint pay. again felt great.
Next time, it said, load 200 in paytm wallet and get 200 off on ride. since I use paytm for recharges, I dint mind it and went ahead. again I used free ride. all went smoothly.
I had a interview in powai. had 400 in wallet by referring friends. thought to use it. fare estimate was 350-360. tried to book a day before but showed no cabs available try 30 mins before ride time. so next day before 30 mins I tried, again same problem. waited for 30 mins and then gave up. went by bus and reached late at interview. was so disappointed that its not always good to trust uber on free rides. and also understood " lalach buri bala hai "
