Cab Driver's List of Passenger Rules Sparks Online Debate

A cab driver's list of six rules for his passengers has gone viral on Reddit, stirring a heated debate online. While some praised him for standing up against rude customers, others called his guidelines overly strict. The list was hung from the front passenger seat for all passengers to see, sparking varied reactions.

The Six Rules: Respect and Courtesy

The driver’s first rule emphasizes the need for politeness and respect, reminding passengers to treat the driver courteously. One point in particular caused quite a stir: the driver asked passengers not to call him “bhaiya” (a common term for “brother” used to address drivers). He stressed that the driver is the owner of the vehicle and should not be treated as a servant.

No “Attitude” and Slow Closing Doors

Another rule that drew attention was the request for passengers not to show “attitude” while in the cab. The driver made it clear that tipping more money does not justify disrespectful behavior. He also asked that passengers close the car doors gently, showing respect for the vehicle.

No Requests to Speed Up

The final rule, highlighted in red, focused on safety. The driver asked passengers not to request faster driving in order to reach their destination on time. The rule read, “Don’t say to drive fast, be on time.”

Mixed Reactions on Reddit

The list was shared on Reddit by a passenger, asking others for their thoughts. While some applauded the driver for setting boundaries, others found the rules excessive. Some users saw the list as a reflection of the increasing frustration among service providers dealing with difficult customers.
