We're almost getting tired of stories about rude private hire drivers.
An Oct. 11 post by Fleur Chua, about a Ryde driver known as Steve, has nonetheless managed to get some attention after it was posted on Facebook.
Allegedly screamed at passenger to get down the car
According to Chua, Steve got "super impatient" when both parties had some trouble locating each other.
The passenger added that she even walked in the rain in the process of trying to find her driver.
However, when she finally boarded, the driver allegedly lectured her and hurled insults, including vulgarities, at her.
He also insisted that Chua was trying to waste his time.
Chua wrote that she tried to get him to calm down, but Steve only got angrier and started screaming for her to get down from the car.
Even when she had alighted, the driver allegedly got down from his car, screamed at her from a distance, and called her a "b*tch".
Here is a screenshot Chua posted, showing the exchange between them:
The insults were apparently sent after she alighted.
More than one incident
At least one other rider has claimed to have had a similar experience with the driver:
And while many users sympathised with Chua, this person had his doubts:
More interestingly, one commenter said that the driver has posted his side of the story:
However, it appears that the driver's post is not accessible at the moment.
