'Real-life horror movie': Woman claims Grab driver left her stranded at deserted bus stop at 1am

Sharing her experience on social media on Wednesday (Oct 29), the woman, who goes by the name Rose Ann, said what was supposed to be a 26-minute journey turned into a prolonged ordeal that left her fearing for her safety.

She said a male friend booked a Grab ride for her from Circuit Road to Yishun on a Saturday night, with the driver arriving at around 12.50am.

"At first everything was fine, the uncle was friendly cool and talkative. He even asked if I smoked and offered to open the windows for me," she said.

However, the situation took a turn for the worse when the driver allegedly told her that Lentor Avenue, which was part of their route, was closed, prompting him to take an alternative route.

Despite attempting several routes, Rose Ann said they encountered multiple road closures.

By around 1.30am, the pair ended up near SBS Transit's premises in Yio Chu Kang.

Friend notices car travelling in wrong direction

Meanwhile, the friend who had booked the ride for her also noticed that the vehicle appeared to be travelling in the wrong direction, prompting him to call her after receiving a red alert on his app.

Despite being assured by the driver, Rose Ann soon realised that he was heading away from her destination in Yishun as before.

When she questioned him, she said the driver allegedly turned the vehicle around and headed towards Mandai.

"He said he was going to drop me off somewhere, then he stopped at a dark, quiet, empty bus stop. I was shaking (and) I felt like I was in a horror movie," she recounted.

Driver offered to continue journey for extra payment

After further discussion, Rose Ann claimed the driver offered to try another route, but said she would have to pay extra.

During this period, Rose Ann said her friend had also reported the incident to Grab.

When the journey eventually resumed, Grab reportedly called the driver, and she claimed that he refused to answer the calls.

When Rose Ann finally arrived at her block in Yishun, she asked the driver to drop her off at the entrance.

AsiaOne has reached out to Grab and Rose Ann for more information.

一名女子深夜乘车回家时遭遇意外，她的网约车司机声称道路封闭，无法将她送到目的地，并试图将她丢在一个废弃的公交车站。

周三（10 月 29 日），一位名叫 Rose Ann 的女子在社交媒体上分享了自己的经历。她说，原本 26 分钟的旅程变成了一场漫长的折磨，让她感到自身安全受到威胁。

她说，一位男性朋友周六晚上帮她从环路（Circuit Road）叫了一辆Grab车到义顺（Yishun），司机大约在凌晨12点50分到达。

“起初一切都很好，那位叔叔友善、冷静、健谈。他甚至问我是否抽烟，还主动提出帮我打开窗户，”她说。

然而，情况却急转直下，司机告诉她，他们路线上的伦托大道已经封闭，于是他改走其他路线。
