A Bengaluru resident shared his experience working part-time as a Rapido bike taxi captain for four days, earning approximately 1,820 after fuel costs from nearly 17 hours of work. He primarily worked late-night shifts, benefiting from a 20% night-time fare bonus and noting no commission was deducted. The breakdown, posted online, sparked discussions about the viability of gig work for short-term or supplementary income, with some users finding it a reasonable option for emergency cash if a bike is already owned.
