Mumbai Rains: From 'Uber Boat Services' To 'Floating Slippers', Netizens Spark Memefest As City Faces Heavy Downpour

Mumbai: Mumbai city and suburbs, along with Thane, Palghar, and Kalyan regions, have been facing heavy downpour for the past two days. However, netizens are erupting into memefest on social media, along with alerting citizens of the severe conditions outside. While half of the social media is demanding holidays and work from home alternatives in private offices, some are also expressing distress over how they reached offices in extreme waterlogged conditions.

Netizens are jokingly asking Ola and Uber companies to start boat cab services in Mumbai. While one AI video is going viral, which shows a commuter booking an Uber boat, the driver reached the destination with a boat for real.

On the other hand, one user on X jokingly asked if anyone saw his slipper floating toward Bandra. He wrote on a picture of a floating slipper, "If anyone sees my chappal floating toward Bandra, please return. It left me near Kurla. #MumbaiRains."
