Bengaluru frequently presents itself as a city where the cost of living tends to be notably higher compared to other cities in India. Stories about landlords demanding substantial sums from tenants and auto-rickshaw drivers inflating fares crop up on the internet almost every day. However, a recent incident involving an Uber ride in the IT Capital of India revealed a fare so incredibly reasonable that it’s almost hard to believe. A screenshot of this incident was posted online, showing that it happened for real and leaving people amazed.
Mahima Chandak, a user on X (Twitter), posted the screengrab that divulged these shocking details. The fare exhibited a jaw-dropping Rs. 6! Yes, your eyes didn’t deceive you. A pre-ride promotional discount deftly trimmed the fare from Rs. 46 to a mere Rs. 6.
