Women Safety Late Night Ride In Kolkata: An ordinary late-night cab ride in Kolkata has become a topic of discussion on social media, not because of any controversy or drama, but for the opposite reason. The video simply shows a driver’s responsibility and humanity, which won people’s hearts and proved that good people still exist. In the dashcam footage going viral on social media, a cab driver is seen carefully taking an intoxicated female passenger home. Throughout the journey, the driver appears calm, composed, and extremely attentive, while the woman repeatedly expresses anxiety about her condition.
What was the conversation between the woman and the driver?
In the video, the woman can be heard saying, “Uncle, please take me home safely, I am very intoxicated.” To this, the driver replies very simply, “I am here, I will take you home safely.” He reassures her repeatedly and affectionately calls her ‘beta’ (child), asking her to stay calm. During the ride, the woman’s mother calls, and she hands the phone to the driver. The driver speaks directly to the mother, informing her that her daughter is on her way home safely. Not only that, he also shares his live location to ease the mother’s worries.
This is Kolkata
A cab driver calmly ensured a drunk woman reached home safely, with dignity untouched.
Moments like these explain why Kolkata repeatedly emerges as India’s Safest City, while many other ‘double engine’ metro cities lag behind.
How did humor and a sense of care show?
When the woman says her mother will scold her for being late, the driver jokes lightly, “She should scold you, you are being very fussy.” This response lightens the mood and clearly shows the driver’s caring and familiar attitude. When the ride ends, the driver doesn’t just take the fare and leave. He helps her open the gate and waits until she safely enters her home.
After the video went viral, people are praising the driver extensively. One user wrote that the driver’s upbringing and values are commendable. Another said that people like him are society’s real wealth.
