Guys… I genuinely had one of the scariest experiences of my life today in Bangalore. I booked a normal Rapido bike ride, and when we reached a red signal, all the vehicles were stopped. The captain wasn’t properly concentrating on the road and directly hit a car that was standing at the signal. The bike almost fell over and a lot of its weight came onto my left ankle, which started hurting badly. The car owner came out and asked the captain to just move to the side and talk about the accident. They were speaking in Kannada, so I couldn’t understand everything, but the car owner wasn’t doing anything crazy… he was simply asking him to stop and discuss what happened.

The captain waited there for maybe 1–2 minutes. The signal was still red. And then suddenly… he started the bike and tried to drive away with me still sitting on it. 😭 The car owner then started following us. I immediately started shouting “STOP! STOP! STOP!” and kept asking the captain to stop for around 1–1.5 km, but he completely ignored me. He kept taking smaller and smaller roads while the car was following us. The car came dangerously close multiple times, and at one point I genuinely thought it was going to hit my leg. I was already injured, sitting behind this guy, shouting at him to stop, while a car was chasing us… this was literally GTA Vice City in real life 💀😭 except there was no respawn button. Eventually, he took me into a very small street and didn’t even properly stop the bike before telling me to get down. He pulled my helmet from my head and left. He didn’t properly check whether I was injured or even ask if I was okay… he just left me there. I called Rapido Customer Care immediately and asked for his number because I wanted to lodge a police complaint, but they didn’t provide it and instead told me to go to the hospital or take another Rapido ride. Later in the evening, I was told the case had been escalated to their P0 / Priority Zero team, but even after 4–5 hours, nobody has contacted me. I have screenshots of the ride and ride-ending notification, along with photos of the car damage. This wasn’t just an accident… the part where he tried to run away with me still on the bike, despite me repeatedly asking him to stop, was absolutely terrifying. I genuinely thought I could get seriously hurt. What would you guys do next in this situation?

This is very well put by the Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar. Significance of respecting the culture, the people and the courtesy to learn something around.

Not AI , This is Bengaluru in Winters 🥶

KEA has always been very negligent and unprofessional. High time the government should change the staff / team

Bengaluru Metro Network — How Far Has Our City Come?

Bengaluru’s metro network is rapidly expanding beyond the existing operational corridors, connecting more neighbourhoods, business hubs, railway stations, the airport, and major residential areas.

This map gives a fascinating overview of the current operational lines, lines under construction, and upcoming corridors — essentially a snapshot of how Bengaluru’s public transport network is evolving.

From Whitefield to Challaghatta, Nagasandra to Silk Institute, and with major extensions planned towards the airport and other parts of the city, the Metro is becoming an increasingly important part of Bengaluru’s future.

What do you think?

Which upcoming Metro line or station will make the biggest difference to your daily commute?

Would love to hear what fellow Bengaluru commuters think. 🚇💜

There is sewage flowing into Hosa Lake 24/7 and every time they just do some sort of temporary diversion and within a few weeks it starts flowing into the lake again. Was thinking of filing a complaint on IPGRS regarding this but want to do it in a self-safe manner. This sewage needs to be stopped or an STP needs to be constructed
Was wondering if there is somebody with experience on this matter...

TLDR:

1. Bike was delivered without proper front brake
2. A RB technician came home and installed incompatible brake pads from a completely different bike model - this was a disaster waiting to happen
3. 20km outside Bangalore, the front brake failed completely since the pad itself came out. By sheer luck I managed to stop the bike without crashing
4. Customer care's solution was to suggest that I should "carefully and slowly" ride a bike without front brake and return the bike to their hub
5. The bike was booked for 24hrs/240km. Because of complete front brake failure, so far from the city, I had to cut the trip short and return home
6. Even the technician who came to recover the bike confirmed incompatible brake pads were used, and he too was afraid of riding the bike back when the front brake was not working

So it wasn't a single instance of bike randomly breaking down. The pattern of how Royal Brothers fails to maintain their vehicle in working order, and gambles with the safety of their customer's as well as its employees life is crystal clear from the above incidents. A month ago, another redditor posted about how the rear brake on his bike failed when he took the bike from Bangalore to Ooty. Imagine riding on narrow, twisty roads with no rear brake!

PS: I know better than to trust rental agencies. That's precisely why I went to their hub without even booking the bike. I spoke to the staff to see if the bike had any issues. I made it absolutely clear that I was not in a hurry to book the bike, if there were any issues, I was more than happy to come back tomorrow once they were fixed. I made the mistake of believing their assurances, saw the new tyre, clean and lubed chain, checked disc rotors for scratches that indicate worn pads, and after all this diligence still ended up getting fooled.

And remember even if you crash due to a legit reason, they will profit from their own negligence by blaming you for riding recklessly. Their greed is making them to gamble with your life.

up for adoption in Pune/Mumbai/Bangalore‼️

Penny is a 1 year old female tabby cat. She’s litter trained, dewormed, vaccinated and sterilised. She’s extremely friendly and easy to handle. She’s based in Pune but can travel to Mumbai and Bangalore.

With patience, she can get along with other cats if you decide to have another in the future but for now, we’re looking for someone who doesn’t have another pet. She needs to be the first cat in the household.

She’s used to staying alone for a few hours that are compatible with work timings but she’ll also be a great companion to wfh folks. She usually sleeps throughout the afternoon.

She doesn’t like being confined to one room/limited space and needs to have access to the whole house to feel comfortable. Penny’s always been an indoor cat and should continue to remain so.

She’s very playful and some of her favourite toys are catnip mouse, feather toys, balls and having cat trees and cat perches and shelves since she loves heights as well. Cats are generally a huge fan of vertical space and so is Penny. She’s also a cat tv lover. Since she won’t have a companion for the time being, she needs attention towards playtime from her adopter. This means you have to dedicate some time before and after office to play with her and tire her out.

Penny can be a night owl but as long as she has access to the whole house and is comfortable, she understands when people are sleeping and eventually settles down too.

Penny currently eats Smylo wet food (two packets in a day, one for breakfast and one for dinner) along with Royal Canin dry food for lunch. We’re looking for someone who’s comfortable with providing good nutrition - so they either stay on these brands/diet or switch to other higher quality brands.

Penny loves an organised environment and doesn’t do well with unhygienic spaces and behaviours like not cleaning her litter box and bowls frequently.

Penny will be a great choice for first time adopters/people who have experience with cats. She’ll require 2-3 days to decompress and a week to properly settle down but it all depends on her pace.

Reason for putting her up for adoption: Penny was rescued last Diwali because she got separated from her mother due to firecrackers. She was adopted in March but due to the adopter’s neglect, she ran away from the house twice and we had to get involved again when we understood that they weren’t actively searching for her. We’re cat rescuers and therefore can’t keep every cat we rescue because then we’ll run out of resources to help others.

Penny has stayed with multiple fosters and we’re pretty confident in her behaviour as a single cat. With another cat, it can be a hit or a miss but she’ll do well with younger kittens.

Adoption formalities are mandatory. We’re looking for serious adopters - people who know they can provide a stable environment and can commit to a pet for their lifespan. We’re not looking for students or bachelors who are not sure of their future plans as adopters.
