They should do something about the cancellation scams
what kind of scams?
I understand Careem, Uber are good education to Pakistan in general and road safety in particular. Both of them subscribe to the UN Road Safety Commission, and adhere. We can file a complaint as ride sharing passengers, as it is our right. The companies particularly Uber has the technology satellites, the International Agencies obtaining vital data for roads, traffic, road safety, to design products for our generations. It is more important it should also provide an opportunity a chance for our ordinary rickshaw, taxi, bus to understand road safety, and human lives. Buses should be tested on uN safety standards for plying on the roads.
They increased the fares of Cars which is so much bad decision. Itna me to banda apni car mein 4 chakar laga ly.
