Eyewitness accounts and shared photos suggest that he was seen vaping inside the taxi, prompting outrage from netizens.
The incident was reported in a Facebook group, where users noted that the male passenger, who appeared to be enjoying himself, failed to fulfil the basic etiquette of paying for his ride. The taxi driver, frustrated by the situation, shared footage from the vehicle’s camera, which has since circulated widely online.
