A Bengaluru-based artist got a shock of her life when she cancelled an OLA cabs booking on Saturday night. Apart from the usual response that Ola sends on cancellation, the frustrated cab driver tried to call her and when she didn’t pick her call he messaged her saying “gandu”(Hindi for asshole). Also it was her birthday on February 6.

@Micha_Alvez We advise you to block his number, the driver is also made aware of the legal implications. We appreciate your patience.

@tushardave15 @Olacabs I'm only worried about backlash from the driver since ola said they're terminating his contract

The artist, who goes by the handle @Micha_Alvz on Twitter, tweeted a screenshot of the message following which many Twitter users criticised Ola drivers and also spoke about their own experiences with the cab service.
@Micha_Alvez @Olacabs I switched to Uber because 1, OLA didn't drop me at my destination .He refused to go there half way and 2. 3x at 6AM
