After Bengaluru, it's now a cab driver in Hyderabad who has put up a "warning" post for passengers, demanding they "stay calm" and keep their distance from each other. Hitting out at couples, the message read: "Warning!! No romance. This is a cab, not your private place... so please keep distance and stay calm."

A photo of the notice was shared on X by a passenger and is viral, prompting laughter.

"An ethical and essential message for cab passengers, commented one user on X, while another said, "Damn. Saw these in Bangalore and Delhi. Didn't expect this in Hyderabad so soon."

Last week, a Bengaluru cab driver's quirky and candid set of rules went viral, sparking a discussion on Reddit. Shared by a user who recently booked a ride through a cab aggregator, a set of rules framed and hung behind the driver's seat caught everyone's attention with its blunt yet humorous guidelines for passengers.

The notice outlines a series of rules to ensure passengers behave respectfully. Some highlights include:

- "You are not the owner of cab.”

- “The person driving the cab is the owner of the cab.”

While the intent seems to be ensuring mutual respect, several of these points left online commenters amused and questioning the nuances behind the driver's message.

One comment humorously tackled the prohibition on calling the driver "bhaiya" (a Hindi term for brother often used to address male drivers). "Most points are fair but what's with - don’t call us bhaiya?" the commenter asked. Another user added, "Uncle it is. Always helps in inflicting emotional damage," poking fun at how people can address drivers in a way that doesn’t offend.

Some users acknowledged the importance of mutual respect and basic manners, pointing out that the sign’s reminders to close the door gently and avoid demanding the driver to speed up are reasonable. One user remarked, "As long as it is mentioned for mutual respect, it's perfectly fine. And things like closing the door softly and not disturbing the driver are basic manners."
