A Pune-based software developer has shared how his two roommates, despite earning high salaries, decided to work as Rapido bike taxi riders over the weekend. The two men, who supposedly earn more than Rs 12 lakh per year each, signed up for the service and completed a few rides simply for fun.
Their decision has started a discussion about how some people take up unusual activities even when they do not need the extra money. The developer also shared a picture of the earnings.
Two Software Professionals Earned Money From Rapido Rides
In a post on X, the developer wrote, “I have two roommates, and both earn ₹12 LPA+ Still, last weekend, they signed up for Rapido Bike Taxi and did a few rides just for fun. Both own sports bikes. One earned ₹900, and the other
earned ₹500. Imagine earning ₹1 lakh/month and still doing this. Boys can do anything for fun.”
The image shared with the post showed a phone displaying earnings of Rs 929.87 for the day on a rider’s app. The post highlighted how the two men tried bike taxi rides as a weekend activity, even though they already had well-paying jobs and owned sports bikes.
Users Share Why They Take Up Delivery Jobs For Fun
The post drew different reactions, with some users sharing similar experiences. One person wrote, “My friends do zomato swiggy deliveries at night, kyuki khali nightout krne niklo go police ghar bhej deti hai.”
Another user suggested that such activities could help people break away from their regular routines. They wrote, “Corporate people are lonely, they have bikes but only use it for office commute. They don’t have gfs. So how much can a person stay silent. So they go out to meet new people, have fun by doing exciting tasks.”
One person also expressed interest in trying it, saying, “I want to do this too. some side income + fun. I wish I could do this. It sounds really fun.”
Another user shared their own experience, writing, “I too do for fun and talk to many corporate ppl.”

Traffic And Pollution Become Part Of The Debate
Not everyone found the idea appealing. One user questioned the effort involved, writing, “Who the hell wants to drive in traffic and pollution? I can’t do if they pay me 2L per day also.”
The original poster replied, “In my area there is not so much traffic and they did rides only within 6km.” Another user added a workplace joke, saying, “Wait till the app sends one of them to pick up his own manager.”
