A woman in Pune shared her bad experience with an Uber driver who would not turn on the air conditioning in the car. The driver, named Anil, told her that only “Premier” rides get AC, which confused her since she thought all cars should have it.
In a video she posted on Instagram, Iffat Shaikh explained what happened. She said, “I booked a sedan and thought I could ask for the AC to be turned on. The driver didn’t listen to me.” Iffat is a tourist in Pune and said she has used Uber many times before without any issues.
In the video, she also asked the driver to tell everyone his name. He confirmed he was Anil but kept insisting that only Premier cars have air conditioning. Iffat felt unsafe when he dropped her off in the middle of the road after their argument.
She added, “As a woman traveling alone in a new city, I felt very uneasy. I had to take an auto rickshaw to reach my destination after he left me.”
Uber has several ride options, including Uber Go, which is the cheapest, and Uber Premier, which costs more. However, the good news is that air conditioning is available in all Uber rides.
Thellv.news has reached out to Uber for comment and will share their response as soon as they get it.
