In a quirky yet relatable incident, a woman booked an Ola Bike ride to travel just 180 metres—all to avoid a group of street dogs near her home.
A short video, recorded by the bike driver himself, has gone viral across social media platforms. The clip shows him arriving at the pickup location and asking the woman for the one-time password (OTP). After confirming it, he was surprised to see that the destination was barely 180 metres away.
When he asked, the woman calmly explained that she feared the street dogs in the area and didn’t want to walk past them. Amused by her reason, the driver completed the short trip and dropped her safely at her destination. The total fare? Just ₹19.
Netizens React with Laughter and Support
The video has since gone viral, with many internet users appreciating the driver’s professional behaviour despite the oddly short trip.

“Thank you brother for helping a girl feel safe…,” one user wrote. Another joked, “Technologia.”
A third person commented, “It was better to pay ₹19 than get an injection,” referring to the risk of dog bites. One user pointed out, “Ek bhi dog toh dikha nahi (Not a single dog was seen?)”
While the ride was barely a minute long, it sparked a larger conversation online about urban safety, street dogs, and the creative lengths people go to feel secure.
