Natarajan also lamented that the emergence of platforms has changed public behaviour and made it difficult for drivers to go outside these platforms. He noted that features like 슬롯사이트œconstant tracking and emergency support슬롯사이트� act as lucrative options for the public for being trustworthy and safer than other cab services.

슬롯사이트œThe automated AI responses feel impersonal: there is this same answer, 슬롯사이트˜We will take this into consideration슬롯사이트�, which makes me feel like they don슬롯사이트™t care.
