Woman books Ola bike ride for 180 meters to avoid stray dogs, video goes viral
An unusual Ola bike ride has gone viral on Instagram after a woman booked a ride for a distance of just 180 metres. In the now-viral video, shared by user @rohitvlogster, the driver arrives at the pickup point and asks the woman for the OTP. After entering it, he appears puzzled and asks whether she's selected the right drop location since it was just 180 metres away. The woman confirms she booked the ride because she is scared of stray dogs in the area and didn't want to risk walking past them. The rider, amused but professional, drops the woman at her destination. When the rider ended the trip, the app showed the customer had to pay Rs 19. The text in the video read, 'Maam ne book kiya Ola sirf 180 metre ke liye' (Ma'am booked an Ola for only 180 meters). The video has gone viral with over 2.8 million views and more than 72.2K likes on Instagram. A post shared by ROHIT VLOGSTER (@rohitvlogster) A third user commented, 'Imagine if dog waiting for her at destination.' Many others responded with strings of laughing emojis. Last year, an Ola driver named Parag Patil captured the Internet's attention after it was revealed that he was once an international athlete. A former Olympian, Patil represented India on the global stage, winning two gold, eleven silver, and three bronze medals. Backed by major venture capital firms including SoftBank, Ola Cabs, a ride-hailing platform based in Bengaluru, expanded internationally in recent years, launching operations in Australia in January 2018, New Zealand in September 2018, and the United Kingdom in March 2019. However, in April 2024, the company announced its exit from all international markets to concentrate exclusively on its Indian operations. A few months later, in August 2024, it rebranded itself as Ola Consumer to reflect its broader business focus.
