Don't we all love the brave new world of Uber and Ola. How did we even manage before these cheap and (mostly) prompt cab services changed our lives so much for the better, the occasional hair-pulling experience apart. Then, there are the Uber/Ola drivers — so much more interesting than the bus, auto and rickshaw drivers of yore.
We already get to know them over all those phone calls for directions to the pick-up location and, once we are on board, the conversation keeps flowing as we ask them how much they make every day, they tell us their life stories and both wonder just how Uber is ever going to make any money with such cheap taxi fares.
Here are some Uber-the-top cab jokes that sum up 21st century India's urban taxi experience.
