” The cab driver is using both applications to acquire more rides and faster (known fact). – Hey may have knowingly accepted ride requests from both apps with the intent to get one ride canceled from the customer side so he could get a cancellation fee (possibility). – Because these two ride-hailing platforms are not interoperable there is no chance either of these platforms can restrict drivers from accepting ride requests from both platforms at the same time even if it is from the same customer (known fact).”

“Driver also has both apps! What’s the impossibility here?”

“Congrats. New achievement unlocked.”

While some speculated that it could be attributed to a technical glitch within the apps, others commended Ananda’s exemplary work ethic and resourcefulness, suggesting that he might be a diligent and hardworking individual seizing every opportunity to serve passengers efficiently.
