Cab Driver Refuses to Turn On AC after Seeing Passenger Wearing Sweater, Video Sparks Debate Online

Recently, a video of an elderly man requesting a cab driver to switch on the air conditioning. The cab driver could see that he was already wearing a sweater, then refused his request. On the internet, this video caused a stir. Some people are making humorous remarks in response to this video, while others are claiming that so many individuals are so self-absorbed that they are unaware of their own behavior.

The video shows the driver justifying his choice by saying that the passenger was wearing a hat and sweater. Thus, he felt the AC was unnecessary. The incident happened in Delhi, as per the media reports.

He says in that, “Theek hai, aap keh rahe ho ki AC nahi chala raha main. Aapne cap pehen rakhi hai aur upar se sweater bhi pehen rakha hai, toh AC ki zaroorat aapko padhegi na. Aap utar ke rakho na woh. Iss mausam mein aap peeche baith jaao, hum sardi mein aage baithe thand mein, hai na?“. Many are defending the driver for his decision, while some are criticizing him also. (You’re telling me that I’m not turning on the air conditioning, right? Since you’re wearing a sweater and a hat, you’ll clearly require the air conditioning. You may remove them. We sit in front in the cold while you sit in the back in this weather.)

Netizens are reacting to this video, where they say the driver could have ignored this. Some are saying the old man was taking it too seriously. The video has been shared on X by user @nehraji77.

This incident is a symptom of a bigger, reoccurring problem, especially in cities like Bengaluru, Pune, and Hyderabad where cab drivers frequently refuse to turn on the air conditioning. The reasons for not using the AC, according to drivers, are frequently high fuel prices, higher operating expenses and minimal profits after platform commissions.
