Driver indulged in lewd act while operating taxi: inDrive authority responds to perverted cab operator
In the wake of a disturbing incident involving an inDrive taxi driver in Astana, the company's founder, Arsen Tomsky, has issued a statement addressing the issue. According to Tomsky, the safety and rights of women are a personal priority and he is directing the company's resources and personal influence towards changing the overall situation in Kazakhstan.
The incident, reported by CMN.KZ, involved a driver exhibiting outrageous behavior, including masturbating in the presence of a girl and her mother during a ride. This incident has raised concerns about passenger safety and has prompted inDrive to take immediate action.
