Bengaluru Woman’s Monthly Uber Spend Exceeds ₹16,000, Surpassing Half Her Rent

Bengaluru, known as India’s IT capital, has a surprisingly high cost of living. Due to notorious traffic, residents often spend more on travel than on accommodation. One woman revealed that her Uber expenses exceeded half her monthly rent. In a social media post, she discussed the city’s exorbitant costs, crediting CRED’s feature for helping her realize this.

“I can’t believe my Uber expenses are more than half the amount I pay as rent in Bengaluru. For me, this has got to be the most useful feature by CRED till date!” she wrote, sharing a screenshot of her Uber transactions.

The screenshot showed that she made 74 Uber transactions between July 1 and 25, totaling a staggering ₹16,600.

The post, shared on July 25, has garnered over 95,000 views. Many commented with their thoughts.

“At this point, maybe it’s better if you buy yourself a vehicle. Even monthly EMIs would be far lesser,” one user suggested.

Another added, “You deserve a loyalty card from Uber.”

A third expressed, “As someone who pays 700 on one side, I dread looking at this feature. Thankfully, I don’t have to travel to the office every day.”

A fourth commented, “You can get a Baleno or an i10 on EMI at that same rate.”

“That’s the only reason I bought a two-wheeler for myself here. Super convenient and don’t have to think twice about going anywhere. And most importantly, don’t have to deal with ride cancellations and high ride prices in rain,” shared a fifth.
