One of the most renowned commentators in India, Harsha Bhogle on Thursday took to Twitter and slammed the Taxi-service app Uber India for showing ‘no accountability.’ Sharing his ordeal on Twitter, Bhogle alleged that one of Uber’s drivers casually told him that they never go to pre-booked bookings.
Bhogle further that he tried not to rant but had no choice due to the ‘indifference and callousness’ of Uber. In a series of tweets, the veteran cricket expert revealed how he had pre-booked an Uber cab which never came, and once his ride did arrive, he didn’t have a memorable experience.
He further alleged that he tried to contact Uber, and sent ‘many DMs’ but received a response which would show the cab service in ‘poor light’.

Despite his troubles, the commentator however won hearts after he choose not to boycott the app after being asked by a fan to ‘Boycott Uber’.
Try as far as possible not to rant on Twitter but I’ve been left with no option by the indifference and callousness of @Uber_India and @UberINSupport. Sent many DMs and got a reply that would show them in poor light. Still waiting for them to address my issue. So bear with me pls

In his first tweet, Bhogle wrote, “Try as far as possible not to rant on Twitter but I’ve been left with no option by the indifference and callousness of @Uber_India and @UberINSupport. Sent many DMs and got a reply that would show them in poor light. Still waiting for them to address my issue. So bear with me pls.”
He followed it up with another tweet, “I had heard that @Uber_India was plumbing new depths. Experienced today. Pre-booked an Uber, never turned up. Booked another and the new driver casually says we never go to pre-booked bookings. No accountability.”
New car turns up. Can’t put on seat belt because the upholstery has covered it. And we thought multinational brands maintained standards. @Uber @Uber_India @Uber_Support @UberINSupport. Only just made my flight eventually.
