Had a terrible experience with ola cabs and wanted to post this as a warning to fellow travellers, avoid ola cabs especially if you are a woman, did not feel safe, multiple serious issues with the driver. Anyone have a better worse experience to share? Especially for women who may be travelling alone? Please share the good and the bad, to make us all safer.I had the worst experience with Ola Cabs on Sunday 15th February 2015 . . I had to be at the Bangalore Airport at 5 am and had booked an Ola cab the previous day for a car to reach my residence at 4 am. The Ola driver called at 3 10 am and took the address, he called again at 3 50 and took more directions and did not arrive until 4 10 am. When I called the driver's number I was shocked to find it switched off! I called Ola and they confirmed that the driver had switched off his phone but will arrange another one in 5 minutes. I received the number of the next driver but when I called him I was horrified to find he had no clue about taking me to the airport and that he was 45 minutes away! By now it was 4 25 am. I gave up on Ola and did not succeed in getting another taxi. I drove my car to the airport, parked it there and just made it for the flight. The question is what if I could not drive? I called Ola thrice after that and told them about the horrible experience but till date no senior manager of Ola has bothered to call me and apologise. I would strongly urge people to use Ola cabs ONLY if you do not have a deadline to reach a destination because they are extremely irresponsible and completely unprofessional. As for me, I will never ever take another Ola Cab.
