Dhaka is the Most Forgetful City in Bangladesh
Business Desk :
Uber, the leading ridesharing app today released the seventh edition of its Lost and Found Index for 2023. This index provides a snapshot of what people forget most frequently, the days of the week, hours of the day, and times of the year when Uber riders reported lost items.
People in Bangladesh were most forgetful during the Eid celebrations this year, particularly during lunch and post-lunch hours. And most phones and cameras were left behind over the weekends. Over the last year, we’ve seen objects including phones and bags top the list of most forgotten items in Ubers across Bangladesh, followed by utility items like wallets, headphones and documents. Besides leaving the usuals behind, Bangladeshis also forget unexpected things such as laptops.
Armanur Rahman, Head of Bangladesh & East India, Uber, said, “We understand the feeling of panic on realizing you’ve left something behind in your ride. At Uber, we understand the importance of every rider’s belonging and are committed to providing a seamless experience. Our Lost and Found Index allows us an opportunity to inform and educate our riders about the in-app options available to retrieve lost items. We encourage riders to check their belongings before the ride ends, but in case you lose something, know that we’ve got your back”
The best way to retrieve an item you may have left in a vehicle is to call the driver.
