But sometimes, unexpectedly, a story comes along that feels different.  This week, a Bengaluru woman shared an incident on Instagram that turned her normal late-night commute on a Rapido bike into something heartwarming and unforgettable.

Asha had booked a Rapido bike to get home late at night. Everything was normal until suddenly, the bike’s chain snapped. Now, usually, when this happens, the captain cancels the ride or asks you to book another one. But the Rapido captain looked at her and said something simple, something that instantly made her feel safe: “Don’t worry, we will fix it and I will drop you home.”

Asha wrote that this one sentence gave her so much assurance. She felt that if he wasn’t giving up on the situation, then she shouldn’t either.

In less than 10 minutes, the bike was fixed, and true to his word, the Rapido captain dropped her home safely at 1 am. She wrote about how we are so used to hearing negative stories that we forget the other side of the world. “Out of a thousand bad experiences, there are still those few that restore your faith,” she said.

Internet Applauds His Kindness

Rapido saw her post and left a heartfelt comment, “Wow… This one hit differently. Not all heroes wear capes. Some fix chains under a streetlight at 12:50 AM and still make sure you reach home safely. We’ll make sure he gets the recognition he deserves.”

And of course, people began commenting on Asha’s video, sharing love, appreciation, and even their own late-night stories. Impressed by the rider, one commented, “He’s the man! He should get all the blessings.” Another related to her experience, and said, “I’ve had many late-night rides in Bengaluru and never felt unsafe.” For one user, this was a reason to believe in the good again, “Good men are still out there. Thank you for sharing this.”

This story wasn’t about a bike. It was about kindness, responsibility, and a small moment that reminded all of us that good people still exist.
