Historical Context

In 2014, Uber faced a high-profile scandal when a driver in San Francisco assaulted a passenger, prompting nationwide scrutiny.

Similarly, a Rapido auto-rickshaw driver in Bengaluru urinated on passenger Sirisha, recorded on CCTV and shared on X, echoing driver-misconduct concerns.
