Bengaluru, usually called India’s IT capital, has a surprisingly high cost of living. Because of its terrible traffic, people spend more on getting around than on their homes. One woman discovered that her Uber bills were more than half her monthly rent. She shared her experience on social media, saying that CRED’s feature helped her understand 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!” the woman wrote, sharing a screenshot of her Uber transactions.
According to the screenshot, she made 74 Uber trips between July 1 and 25, amounting to a staggering ₹16,600.
Since being shared on July 25, the post has garnered over 95,000 views and continues to rise. Many people commented on the post to share their thoughts.
“At this point, maybe it’s better if you buy yourself a vehicle. Even monthly EMIs would be far lesser,” suggested one individual.
Another added, “You deserve a loyalty card from Uber.”
“As someone who pays 700 on one side, I dread looking at this feature. Thankfully I don’t have to travel to office everyday,” remarked a third.
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 important. Don’t have to deal with ride cancellation and high ride prices in rain,” shared a fifth.
