In Baku, a driver who dropped off a pregnant passenger halfway was punished
In Baku, the aggressive behavior of a taxi driver caused discontent among passengers.
As BAKU.WS reports, when placing the order, the passengers indicated three addresses. The route included the "Koroglu" metro station, the Bakikhanov settlement, and the final destination — the Zykh settlement.
After one of the passengers got out near the area known as the "Pyramid," not far from the "Koroglu" metro station, the driver demanded that the remaining passengers also leave the vehicle.
According to the complainants, the driver refused to continue the trip, stating: "I can't drive to three stops." The other passengers reminded him that the route had been specified in advance in the app and demanded that he complete the order to the final address.
According to the complainant, the driver then began to behave aggressively: he sharply increased his speed, created dangerous situations on the road, and threatened the passengers with death. It is reported that he uttered the phrase: "I will take you to hell."
It is noted that among the passengers was a woman who was eight months pregnant. According to available information, the driver dropped them off at the "Koroglu" metro station and drove away from the scene. Due to severe fright and stress, the pregnant woman's condition worsened.
The woman reported that a complaint about the incident had been filed with the 23rd police station of the Nizami District Police Department. She also claims that she learned that this driver had previously been arrested in Russia on charges of attempting to commit an intentional crime.
In connection with the incident, the Land Transport Agency of Azerbaijan reported that a restriction on carrying out passenger transportation activities by taxi has been imposed on this driver and his vehicle.
The agency also noted that all passenger complaints regarding the quality of taxi services are thoroughly reviewed, and appropriate measures are being taken to prevent similar cases.
