Indian Taxi Driver Sets Unique Rules for Passengers to Ensure Pleasant Rides

An Indian taxi driver has come up with a creative way to tackle common issues with passengers by introducing a set of rules aimed at ensuring a smooth journey.

Frustrated with frequent arguments over minor issues, the young driver decided to establish clear guidelines for passengers. To make the rules visible, he pasted a list of instructions behind the seat for everyone to read.

The list begins with a reminder to passengers that they do not own the taxi—the driver does. It also emphasizes the importance of politeness and respectful behavior toward the driver.

Here are the rules for passengers:

• You are not the owner of the taxi.
• The driver is the owner of the car.
• Speak politely and show respect.
• Close the door gently.
• Keep your attitude to yourself; please don’t show it to us just because you are paying more.
• Do not call us ‘bhaiya’ (brother).
• Note: Don’t ask the driver to speed up—stick to the schedule.

With this straightforward approach, the driver hopes to foster mutual respect and avoid unnecessary conflicts, creating a pleasant experience for both himself and the passengers.
