‘I mindlessly started scanning his payment QR code when he…’: Bengaluru car driver’s honest gesture goes viral after stopping passenger from making double payment

Living in a city without a personal vehicle often means dealing with the frustration of rising taxi and car prices. It is not uncommon for drivers to ask for more than the actual fare. However, a recent incident in Bengaluru, shared by a Reddit user, shows that not all taxi or auto drivers are looking to charge more. While social media is flooded with videos of arrogant drivers, it is essential to remember that these cases do not represent the entire community.

In a heartwarming story, the Reddit user shared how a driver stopped him from making an additional payment at the end of the trip, reminding him that he had already paid.

In his post, the Reddit user shared that he had started scanning the payment QR code, forgetting that they had already paid when the car made a stop at a CNG pump to refuel. The driver quickly noticed and stopped the user.

“So during the trip, he stopped at a CNG pump to fill up with fuel equivalent to the fare and asked me to pay for it. I didn’t care, it wasn’t the first time this happened, so I did it. Once I got home “Without thinking, I started scanning his payment QR when he asked me to stop and reminded me that I had already done it,” the user wrote.

The user went on to say that while this was not a significant incident, it was worth sharing amid all the negativity. “I know it’s not much, I wouldn’t have even realized I paid him twice. But I thought I should share this here as it might be a new change of pace from all the other incidents we read about.” “, they concluded.

In response to the incident, many people praised the driver’s honesty, while others shared their own similar experiences.

One user commented: “There are really nice car drivers in Bengaluru too, let’s not forget. I’ve had bad experiences only about 1/20 times. I have hired taxis/autos, most of them just do their job and don’t want to waste time. Bad apples are limited to a few, let’s not judge them all based on this. *Disclaimer: I am neither a car driver nor a union leader.”

“Rare cases!” another user simply wrote.
