ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. Recommended to take UBER/OLA using the app, don't pay via cash as they'll inflate the prices and will tell you another figure once you reach your destination. UBER also require driver to receive 6 DIGIT PIN from you to share with the driver to ensure your safety and if they do anything funny, Report it. That was the advised given by someone in Bengaluru to us.
Thank you for watching, stay tuned for more episodes! :)
