She further added that the driver also carries a raincoat for the pillion riders in case it starts to rain during the ride.

She mentioned that the driver also wears a safety belt to safeguard the customers, in case they accidentally doze off.

"I was genuinely in shock. The effort and care, this man puts into his work are beyond words. I don't know how much he earns per ride, but no amount can truly compensate for the dedication he shows," she wrote in the post.
