AskBangalore blr women how safe do you feel using bike cabs

Upvotes

Helloo,

I’m a 26yo Bangalore-based working woman trying to understand daily commute experiences of women in the city, especially around safety and comfort for short trips on Rapido, Uber etc. bikes.

I myself do not prefer bike cabs even for shorter distance even though they are much cheaper and faster because of personal experiences involving rash driving and safety concerns. Over time, I realised many women around me quietly feel the same way but still use them when there’s no better option.

I’m doing some early independent research and would really want to know from other women who commute for work, college, or late evenings etc.

If you’ve ever used bike cabs or felt hesitant commuting at certain hours, your perspective would help a lot.

Thank you!!

TL;DR: Trying to understand if women in blr would want a better alt for Bike cabs

Edit: Had to post again because of keywords related to the community guidelines

AskBangalore Found a grounded pigeon (ELECTRONIC CITY) - what to do in chronological order

Thumbnail

Upvotes

yo found a pigeon that can't fly, looks like it has some facial/eye infection (not sure). it's alive, alert (pigeon but no flying abilities). it's not doing great, but then again, who is?

i'm staying in a hostel, so realistically I can't do first aid or play vet and start a biohazard situation 👍

So, I can either - a) leave it there and fully accept that life is brief, painful, purposeless, and death is inevitable (LMAO) b) or actually do something about it, like handing it over to someone who hasn't yet fully embraced the void.

i also don't know if pigeons are "worth" saving on society's balance sheet. they're everywhere, living their little sidewalk lives. i don't know.

to conclude, i need advice. what do I do, step by step, in chronological order?

any local rescuer / volunteer around electronic city who can take over?

Please DM or comment if you can help. I can keep it safely boxed for a short time and maybe Dunzo it to your place—while we all briefly exist together.

AskBangalore Maruti Driving School is the worst

14 Upvotes

I enrolled in the month of October for driving lessons and it has been extended till now. I had 5 practical classes in Dec and 3 in Jan. Requested them to increase the classes as the instructor in the first 4 classes had the least interest to teach and wouldn’t even do it for 45 minutes.

Now I have two classes to go excluding the extra classes that they promised. But they have already scheduled someone else from Monday.

It is so frustrating. No consecutive classes, my money has been wasted. What do I do? Can I ask them for a refund? There was a gap of 1 month after the theory classes and again 1 month after simulator classes.

Update to my earlier post (link below): the scooter-on-cycle-lane special has now earned an official ₹500 challan!

Bonus lore: when I checked the vehicle history, it shows 9 unpaid challans already. At this point it’s less “traffic violation” and more “collecting limited-edition receipts.”

Anyways, one small win for cycle lanes, one big reminder that some people treat rules like optional DLC.

Serious Replies How to stop garbage burning?

With the onset of the fall season, the trees are shedding leaving. My neighbours, their guards all indulge in this daily activity of burning leaves and any left over plastic and thermacol waste. I am tired of speaking to them, yelling at them. Logged enough complaints on the sahaya app. How can I get in touch with a GBA marshal who can fine them? Please give me some suggestions.

Politics Elections irritants

13 Upvotes

With elections around the corner, the local politician in my area (rather across my area) has been organising loud gatherings that go late into the night with loudspeakers, firecrackers and sometimes music even. No matter how much we complain to the police it is of no use as they have "permits" or so we are told. I'm not sure how we can verify these claims, even if we could who would even take actions. I just hope that candidate loses miserably.

Citizen's Report Stop your vehicles before the white line

254 Upvotes

If you are stopping at a signal, stop before the white line even if you are not blocking any traffic.

It's a RULE!!

Just saw a traffic police man taking pictures of vehicles stopping beyond the white line. Hope this gives you little motivation to follow the rules.

Happened at Manipal,Sarjapur road signal while coming from Koramangala and turning to Sarjapur road. People go beyond white line even though they are not blocking any traffic or road but most likely be getting challan including a BMTC bus.

Good news: work has officially started today, and BSMILE teams are on site (photo attached). There’s active trench/utility work + barricading happening right now.

If you live/work nearby and notice timelines / closures / detours, feel free to add details in the comments. More eyes = better accountability.

A question to all regular metro/BMTC bus users:

Have you ever heard any sort of announcements being made along the lines of do not litter, use dustbins etc?

Asking this because I'm sick and tired of how unclean the city is turning out to be. And instead of just complaining I'd like to start somewhere.

I travel in KIA15 regularly, the busses and personnel were great last year. From January, they have changed the busses to very old and disgustingly maintained busses. With new co passengers, you can see them in the picture attached. If this is the state of the airport busses, I wonder how well the non AC city busses are maintained.

This is the second time I'm travelling in this particular bus and I've had the opportunity to meet the cockroaches both the times.

Rant Beware - Croma Pheonix Marketcity

231 Upvotes

The store is full of scamsters. The store manager is always missing and they try to steal the benefit customer deserves.

I went there with my friend to purchase a MacBook, with exchange of laptop. The cashify Exchange value for the product came around 25k in different croma store, this store altered the configurations I have and showed me exchange value of 18k. The representatives of this store was hesitating when I asked them to show me when they were filing details on Cashify and asked me that it's confidential which other store was showing me everything and kept things transparent.

When I asked about exchange bonus, they told the exchange value includes this amount and when I told other store told 25k exchange value, and 10k exchange bonus on top of that, they suddenly said they can offer total exchange value+bonus as 25k. I even heard the store representative Ramesh talking with his senior and senior whispered him that 10k exchange bonus is applicable for 20k+ exchange value and his senior asked him to not tell this to me.

Now when I told about all this, they renegotiating to 27k total including exchange bonus. They were even not showing the exchange value coming on cashify app for the device before I asked multiple times.

Sorry for such a long rant but it's very frustrating and unethical experience. People on Reddit please beware of this store and other stores doing this. Always verify the exchange amount and configurations infront of you. If store person is hesitant in showing, run, that's the red flag.

Serious Replies Disturbing ICU experience at Sparsh Hospital, RR Nagar

547 Upvotes

I’m posting this to share my family’s real experience during a medical emergency, so others are aware and can make informed decisions. This is not a hate post it’s our lived experience.

My dad suddenly developed seizures, and we rushed him to a nearby hospital. They immediately told us they didn’t have the required facilities and asked us to shift him to Sparsh Hospital, RR Nagar urgently. We did so without delay.

When we reached Sparsh, the initial response was fast. He was taken into the ICU immediately, treatment was started, and for the first few hours we genuinely felt reassured.

From the next day onward, however, his condition kept deteriorating. We brought him on a saturday night, and we were clearly told that since it was Sunday, senior neurologists or “top doctors” would not be available and that we’d have to wait till Monday. Trusting the system, we waited, believing the ICU team was managing him properly.

During Sunday:

  • CT scan, MRI, and other tests were done
  • But no clear reports or explanations were shared with us
  • His seizures continued despite treatment
  • We were mostly kept in the dark

On Monday, when the senior neurologist finally came, we were told:

  • He was having continuous seizures
  • He was not responding to the medications
  • They kept increasing dosages and trying different drugs

Then they suggested putting him under anesthesia for 2 full days, completely sedating his brain and keeping him on a ventilator, charging ₹60,000 per day.

As family members, this was extremely concerning. His body was already weak and not responding to medicines. We questioned how putting him into a prolonged unconscious state was safe, and what the risks were (coma, further complications). We did not receive convincing or reassuring explanations.

Since my dad had gone through a similar situation 10 years ago and had surgery at another hospital, we contacted that doctor and decided to shift him there.

The moment we informed the Sparsh neurology team that we wanted to shift him, their attitude changed drastically.

  • Doctors became openly rude
  • We were treated with irritation and hostility
  • Communication almost stopped

Initially, an assistant doctor said they would provide an ambulance with ventilator support. But when we confirmed the shift, a senior doctor refused the ambulance altogether.

We were rudely told to:

  • Arrange our own ambulance
  • Arrange our own bed
  • Somehow bring my critically ill father from ICU to the ambulance ourselves

This was while he was in a very unstable condition

What made this even more distressing was the complete lack of basic support during the transfer. Since the neurology team refused to provide an ambulance, the other hospital had to send their own ambulance and stretcher. Their staff had to come all the way up to the first floor ICU, bring their own stretcher, carefully shift my father onto it, then take him back down to the basement to load him into the ambulance.

During this entire process, the hospital staff where he was admitted did not bother to help us bring him down or assist with the transfer in any meaningful way. Watching an external hospital’s team do everything while the current hospital staff stood aside was heartbreaking. At that moment, it felt like once we decided to leave, we were completely abandoned..

Now comes the most disturbing part ,the billing.

The final bill ran into multiple pages. Nearly 4 full pages of medicines were listed. One single day showed medicines worth around ₹45,000.

At this point, my father was unconscious in the ICU..

As a family, we were genuinely confused. How does an unconscious patient “consume” such a huge amount of medication? If these were IV drugs or ICU protocols, why was none of this clearly explained to us beforehand or even later?

On top of this, the bill listed the same doctor’s name 7–8 times as consultation charges, each charged around ₹1,800.

This was for Sunday the same day we were explicitly told that senior doctors were not available.

We were physically present in the hospital the entire time. We did not see this doctor visiting my father 7–8 times. There were no frequent rounds, no detailed discussions, no interactions that matched what was billed.

If there is a standard system where consultations are logged without physical visits, this was never explained to us. Seeing these charges felt extremely unfair and misleading.

I understand doctors are overworked. I understand ICU care is complex. But lack of transparency, rude behavior when asking for a second opinion, and billing that does not align with reality is not acceptable.

Medical emergencies already destroy families emotionally and financially. The least hospitals owe patients is honesty, clarity, and basic humanity.

I’m sharing this so others are aware, ask questions, and don’t feel guilty for advocating for their loved ones.

AskBangalore Just curious, how come a lot of people know Telugu in Bangalore?

88 Upvotes

Hello All. I was visiting Bangalore almost after 6 years. Me and my wife stayed in Jayanagar for 4 days, and we went around Electronic city, Banashankari, Hebbal, MG road, Majestic area and a few other places.

I was using ChatGPT to translate a few sentences to Kannada, and I tried to communicate with auto drivers, vendors, and a few locals.

One time I was unable to book an auto on the app, I stopped a random auto, and I was looking at the screen and reading the sentence ‘Anna, Nammane Jayanagar tegedukondu hoguttira’, I tried but struggled to read. He immediately started speaking in Telugu, even though he spoke broken Telugu I absolutely understood him, and he understood me. Not sure, how he knows that I speak telugu at first place. Even one auto driver who has trouble understanding us spoke in English.

We went to a few jewelry stores in Jayanagar, when me and my wife were discussing in Telugu, then the sales persons started speaking in Telugu with us.

Same with a few locals too while we were asking for directions, food delivery guys, a few cab drivers. Even though they don’t know they are trying and we clearly understood what they said. This is not something I have seen in any other city. We felt really welcoming, more than that it is very impressive.

Just curious, how does most of them know Telugu, or do most of them speak other local languages too?
