Stranded Biker Books Rapido For A Ride, But Not The Way You Think. Watch What Happens Next
The video, captured from the Rapido rider's point of view, shows his initial confusion upon arriving at the pickup location. Expecting a regular passenger, he was instead greeted by a man seated on a fuel-less Bullet. The stranded rider explained that he didn't need a lift; he needed a push to the nearest petrol pump.

At first hesitant, the Rapido driver expressed concern over towing the hefty Bullet using his scooter, noting that his vehicle had recently undergone engine repairs. However, after learning that the fuel station wasn't far, and with the Bullet rider assuring him he wouldn't push too hard, the Rapido driver agreed.
The two soon set off, with the Rapido scooter gently pushing the Royal Enfield from behind. Moments later, they successfully reached the petrol pump. The Bullet rider quickly refuelled and returned to pay and thank the Rapido driver.
The clip has since gone viral, drawing a mix of amusement and admiration online. While some users joked about the man's desperation "Looks like brother has no friends in the city" others applauded his clever solution.
Rapido's official account also chimed in humorously: "Men see. Men like. Men happy. Men scroll?"

Scroll call: Eyes on screen, hands off safety on Ahmedabad's roads
1 2 Doomscrolling takes on a new meaning on the city's roads. The seemingly harmless act of glancing at Instagram notifications or scrolling through social media while navigating traffic has become a public safety concern, with accident data revealing that casual mobile use behind the wheel poses far greater risks than many drivers realise. Using a mobile phone while driving is considered dangerous driving under Section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 . The recent amendments to it, implemented this March, raise fines for mobile use while driving, with first-time offenders facing fines of up to Rs 5,000 (up from Rs 500) for four-wheeler drivers and Rs 10,000 for repeat offenders. Fines for two-wheelers remain Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 for first and repeat offences, respectively. "Two-wheeler riders using mobiles while driving are a recipe for disaster," said Amit Khatri, a road safety expert and consultant. "To maintain optimum responsiveness and balance, both hands must be on the handlebars. Earphone use also poses a risk as in-ear music distorts external sounds, impairing judgment," he said, highlighting the risks involved. Khatri identified the 18-35 demographic, especially college students and office-goers, as the most frequent violators of these safety protocols. "Only stricter fine enforcement and vigilant policing can bring in behavioural change among riders, which is needed to curb this trend," he said.

Of these, two-wheeler riders alone accounted for 8,086 cases. "Two-wheeler riders are the most common mobile-use offenders and also the vehicle group most involved in accidents and resulting fatalities," said joint commissioner of police (traffic) N N Chaudhari. Though a 2023 tender from the Ahmedabad Smart City Company (ASCC) proposed AI software upgrades for the city's CCTV e-memo issuing cameras, expanding its scope of detecting traffic violations from the current three infractions — jumping red lights, crossing stop lines and exceeding speed limits — to 32 offences, including using mobiles while driving, the proposed change has yet to be implemented.
