Vijayeta Shared Her Experience on Twitter

Vijayeta shared her experience from the night, along with a picture, on Twitter.

My cab broke down near Powai, past midnight. Stopped an auto and was wonderfully surprised to see a woman driver. She dropped me home, we chatted and it felt so good to live in a city where women do feel safe enough to be out at all hours. Really hope it stays that way! pic.twitter.com/2bTpq340R2

Good to know. But the real happiness will come when the daughters of the nation will feel safe even with male drivers at mid-night. I hope that day comes soon...!

Mumbai is still safer for women compared to other cities. When in Mumbai I do travel alone at night sometimes by train or auto. Never felt threatened. Mumbai is my jaan 😍😍

Mumbai has always been safe for women, have never felt unsafe travelling at any hour here. Glad you shared your story. Need to show the positives in this very negative world!
