Popular Drivers are scary drivers!!
You sit in their cabs. They start driving. Suddenly some strange ringtone rings. He tilts his body to left / ride side while controlling the steering wheel with one hand. With the other hand he starts digging out his cell phone located somewhere deep inside his bum pocket. Then the following conversation takes place:
"Haan... Ji ji... main buss aadhe ghante mein pahunchta hoon. Woh ek savari mila hai... unko drop karke aata hoon. Ji... Ji... Haan Ji... bees minute.. "
Then he hangs up and starts driving as if he is the next Schumi driving his beloved ferrari on his favorite track Monaco! He will cut lanes, zip past the signals and make you reach Colaba from Bandra in 20 minutes straight.. driving at god knows what speed.. I try to see but seldom make out because their speedometers are mostly not working / broken. (Times like these make me miss Honda Civic..)
Background:
So basically what happens is that some of these annoying cabbies enter into a monthly deal with people who travel a particular route daily via cabs. The cabbies become more or less their dedicated drivers and drive them around to work and back and whereever else in between (if required).
Needless to say, when duty calls, they drop everything (literally) and rush back to the pick up address.
I hate popular drivers.
